1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the peach halves in a single layer.
2 Place the amaretti cookies in a plastic bag and crush them gently with a heavy object, such as a rolling pin. You should have about 1/2 cup. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter and sugar and stir in the crumbs.
3 Following the line around the peaches, cut them in half and remove the pits. With a grapefruit spoon or a melon baller, scoop out a little of the peach flesh from the center to widen the opening and add it to the crumb mixture. Stir the egg into the mixture.
4 Arrange the peach halves cut sides up in the dish. Spoon some of the crumb mixture into each peach half.
5 Bake 1 hour or until the peaches are tender. Serve hot or at room temperature.
