The slow cooker doesn't have to be for all-day projects. This simple dessert is easy to assemble right before a dinner party, and the tender, boozy peaches will be ready to serve by the time you're ready for dessert.
For stovetop: Heat peaches, lemon zest, amaretto, honey, salt, red pepper flakes, and 1 cup hot water in a medium pot over medium heat until simmering. Reduce heat to low and cook until peaches are tender, about 25 minutes.
