Things you'll need

Ingredients
Baked Peaches
  • 4 fresh peaches
  • 1 box ready made pie crust
  • 1/4 cup raw turbinado sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
Honey Sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Equipment
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Knife
  • Spoon

Let's get started!

Baked Peaches
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF
  2. Roll out dough and slice into strips that are ¼ to ½-inch wide.
  3. Wash peaches and then wrap them in the crust while they are still damp. Flip a peach upside down and wrap a small strip of dough around the tip of the peach (Picture at 1:45). Continue to wrap strips of dough all the way down the peach, making sure they overlap a little bit so it will look like a nest.
  4. Take a ball of excess dough, about the size of a grape, and shape it to look like the top of a nest (Picture at 2:06). Stick this at the very top to cover the exposed peach.
  5. Sprinkle some sugar all around the nest, lightly pressing it into the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the nest.
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the rest of the peaches.
  7. Place your nests on a lined baking sheet and then bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Honey Sauce
  1. Pour in heavy cream, melted butter, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Whisk together until evenly combined.
  2. Once your hornets’ nests have baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They should be cool enough to pick up, but still warm. Place each nest onto a serving plate.
  3. Use a spoon to drizzle honey sauce over each nest.
  4. TaDa! Your hornets’ nests are a delicious and super unique treat to serve up to your friends!
