1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray eight 1-cup muffin tins with cooking spray. Cut each sheet of filo pastry into 8 squares.

2. 2

   Line each of the 8 muffin tin cups with 3 squares of filo pastry, brushing butter in between each layer and on the top, overlapping the sheets at different angles.

3. 3

   Combine the almonds, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle over each of the 8 pastry cups.

4. 4

   Top each one with the 3 more squares of pastry, with butter in between each layer and continue to overlap the sheets at different angles.

5. 5

   Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, dissolve the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in the orange juice; bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer.

   Halve the peaches and slice thinly (you can peel them or not - your preference). Add the peaches to the syrup and stir gently to coat them; simmer for 2 or 3 minutes.

   Remove the pastry "flowers" from the muffin tins, and with a slotted spoon, remove the peaches from the syrup and distribute evenly in the "flowers".

8. 8

   Drizzle remaining syrup over them; dust with icing sugar. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if you like!
