For best results, use ripe but firm peaches that will hold their shape during baking. If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of almond extract and 2 tablespoons of water or milk. To prevent the cake from sticking, grease the pie plate thoroughly before adding the brown sugar mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
