- As for Crumbs: Set the oven to 175 C or 350 F. Use baking (parchment) paper to line a baking sheet or pan. Combine the flour, sugar, almond meal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips, combine the vanilla and melted butter until fine crumbs form.

- Peaches Grilled: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-low heat. To avoid sticking, lightly lubricate with a small amount of butter. Each peach half should have two teaspoons of syrup brushed on it.

- When ready to serve, add a little extra maple syrup, a scoop of ice cream, and some cookie crumbs on top.
