Peach Crisp
Ingredients
- 3 lb peaches peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar for the peaches
- 2 tbsp potato starch
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar for crisp topping
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pecans plus more for garnish
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter chilled and grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an oven safe baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, lemon juice, sugar, starch and vanilla, and mix thoroughly so that peaches are entirely coated. Pour evenly into an oven safe dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine coconut sugar, flour, oats, chopped pecans, nutmeg and cinnamon until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Using a wooden spoon, incorporate butter until a small pea size crumble appears. Ensuring the butter stays chilled will provide a crispier crisp! Spread evenly over peaches.
- Garnish with additional pecans and peaches if desired, and place in the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes until oat mixture turns a dark golden color. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Serve with a cold scoop of your favorite ice cream if desired!
