Paleo Peach Crumble

   Alright, so I usually dislike baked fruit desserts. A lot. I think it's because the idea of eating hot squishy fruit is just not appealing, especially given the alternative-chocolate!!! Just sayin'. 
   But, this peach season here in Ontario, I've got the hot peach bug. Oh yeah, it's a real thing. It's this thing where you dream of all the ways you can make peaces into baked desserts for yourself. And I say "dessert" lightly because I have mostly been making these peach creations for my lunch.
   Anyway, this recipe is one of 4 that I have recently been  mucking around with, and I hope you get a chance to make it! This is not too sweet, but is just full of fantastic flavour. 

Paleo Peach Crumble

Ingredients

• 3 Ripe peaces, washed & sliced 
• 1 Tbsp tapioca flour (feel free to use regular flour, of just gluten free flour if you're not paleo)
• 2 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 2 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Tsp Allspice, if you have it

Topping:

• 6 Tbsp almond flour
• 3 Tbsp shredded, unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 Cup chopped nuts. I've used any and every kind, including a mix  of different nuts at once.
• Generous pinch of sea salt
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp Coconut oil, cool 

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven or bbq to 400 Degrees. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced peaces with the tapioca, honey, cinnamon and allspice.
2. In a separate smaller bowl, toss the almond meal, coconut, chopped nuts salt and cinnamon together. 
3. Add the cool coconut oil, and work it in with your hands, pinching the coconut oil, and taking handfuls of the mixture and rubbing it through your hands until you've made a bowl full of crumbs. If it's roasting hot in your house, do this job with a fork, two knives or a pastry cutter so you don't melt the coconut oil.
4. Dump the peach mixture into either four 8 ounce ramekins, two 16 ounce ramekins, or an 8x8 baking pan.
5. Sprinkle the topping over the peaches, and place into pre-heated oven until the top is golden, and the peaches are bubbling hot. For the 8 ounce ramekins, it should take about 15 minutes, for the 16 ounce ramekins it'll take about 25 minutes, and the 8x8 baking dish should be ready in around 30-35 minutes. 
6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating. 

   Friday is here, and I hope everyone had a great week! We're off to a wedding down in Hamilton, and we're pretty excited about it! So, I hope whatever your plans are for the weekend (including if you have to work) that you  make it a good one.
