Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

A dash of amaretto gives the gently roasted peaches, plums and nectarines in this dish the most wonderful almond flavour, but you could easily substitute elderflower liqueur or whatever you have handy in the cupboard. Cooking the granola in a tin alongside keeps it nice and crisp. This is a perfect late summer or early autumn pudding along with a spoonful of mascarpone or vegan ice cream.

Ingredients

4 peaches or nectarines, halved
4 flat peaches, whole
4 plums, halved (or a mixture of your favourite orchard fruit)
6 tbsp soft light brown sugar
200ml amaretto liqueur
60g flaked almonds
40g oats
50g pistachios, lightly chopped
30ml olive oil
vegan ice cream or mascarpone, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 140°C fan/160°C/gas 3. (This might seem low, but you want the fruit to cook very gently.)

Arrange the fruit in a roasting tin large enough to hold everything in one layer, scatter over 4 tablespoons of the light brown sugar, then pour over the amaretto liqueur. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes, until the fruit is just soft. (If your fruit is very under-ripe, it may take slightly longer.)

Meanwhile, mix the flaked almonds, oats, pistachios, olive oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and spread them out on a separate baking tray. Pop them alongside the tray of fruit and roast for 20 minutes, until just crisp.

Serve the fruit hot, with mascarpone or vegan ice cream alongside, scattered with the granola. Leftovers are excellent for breakfast with yogurt too.
