• Wash the surface of the peaches. Slice your unpeeled peaches into thin wedges - about 8 -12 per peach. If your peaches are not real sweet, sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the peaches. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
• Prepare your baking dish with softened unsalted butter.
• Place the sliced peaches in the prepared dish in a circle formation.

The Clafoutis Batter

• In a blender or food processor, combine the flour, 1 ¼ cups of the cream, the sugar, the eggs, and the salt. Process until mixed, about 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender jar with a rubber spatula. Blend again until no dry pockets of batter are visible.
• Pour the batter over the peaches in the dish.
• Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the batter.
• Bake the Peach Clafoutis on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
• Transfer the dish to a cooling rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Spoon into individual serving bowls.

Sweetened Whipped Cream

• In a mixer or with an immersion blender, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream just until soft peaks begin to form. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Whip again for a few seconds.
