A quick and easy paleo-friendly peach crisp featuring a nutty almond and coconut crumble topping, perfect for summer gatherings and healthy dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 5 medium peaches, ripe but firm)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted lightly
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with raw honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and arrowroot powder until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9-inch baking dish, spreading it out in an even 1-inch deep layer.
  4. Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, toasted shredded coconut, chopped almonds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
  6. Pour in melted coconut oil and raw honey, then mix until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peaches without pressing down too hard.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery filling. Toast shredded coconut and nuts separately for better flavor and crunch. Warm (not hot) coconut oil helps bind the crumble without greasiness. Let the crisp cool before serving to thicken the filling. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Arrowroot powder is essential for thickening juicy peaches. Variations include adding berries, using seed flours for nut allergies, or adding warming spices like ginger and nutmeg.
