Healthy Peach Crisp
Description
The Healthy Peach Crisp recipe showcases fresh peach slices coated with arrowroot powder and lemon juice, which helps thicken the juices released during baking while adding a subtle brightness. The topping is a combination of rolled oats, chopped pecans (or almonds), almond flour, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil, seasoned with vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt to enhance the natural peach flavor. The ingredients are combined to form a hearty crumbly layer that presses down gently over the fruit.
Baking at 375°F for 30 minutes softens the peaches and allows the topping to brown and crisp up nicely. The contrast of the tender fruit with the crunchy oat-nut topping gives this dessert appealing texture and warmth. This crisp can be served warm by itself or with a scoop of ice cream when desired.
