A delicious Summery Peach Crisp that’s lightened- up with a Crisp Oat Topping with Oats, Pecans and Coconut. A smile with every bite guaranteed!
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe peaches, washed and dried
- 1 ½ tablespoons tapioca, ground fine, or tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 10 tablespoons regular oats
- 3 tablespoons natural flaked coconut, (not sweetened)
- 4 tablespoons pecans, chopped
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract, (not imitation)
- 3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, organic (melted if solid)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, organic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a heavy round 8" baking dish* Cut the peaches into 10 - 12 even slices per peach, discarding the pit. Add them to the baking dish with the tapioca and the honey. Gently mix all together.
- For the topping: in a small bowl, add the next 8 dry ingredients (oats through flour.) Mix together with a fork. Add the coconut oil and melted butter. Mix well with the fork.
- Top the peaches with the topping to cover - do not press down, just pat into place. Bake until very golden on top, about 30 minutes. When the color is good, and the juices are bubbling, cover with foil and cook 10 additional minutes.
- Remove from oven. Cool just a bit and serve warm.
- * I use a enamel coated cast iron baker - it is a medium, not large sized dish. Double the recipe for a 9" x 13" baker.
