Ingredients

Ingredients for the Peach Filling

  • 6-8 medium ripe peaches sliced (approximately 6 cups of slices) - leave peel on for added fiber and nutrients!
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted, plus extra for buttering the baking dish
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Ingredients for the Crumb Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups organic unbromated unbleached flour
  • 8 Tbsp butter melted (I used salted butter)
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • * Buying unbromated unbleached flour ensures the flour has not been treated with potassium bromate (linked to thyroid dysfunction and possibly cancer) or chlorine gas (produces "alloxen," a substance that may increase risks for diabetes and cancer).

Instructions

Directions for the Peach Filling

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter an 8x8 square pan or small rectangular casserole dish and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, honey, cinnamon and vanilla.
  • Add peaches to the bowl and gently stir until all are coated.
  • Pour peach mixture into the buttered baking dish.
  • Rinse and dry the mixing bowl for use with the crumb topping.

Directions for Crumb Topping

  • In the rinsed and dried mixing bowl, combine melted butter, pure maple syrup and sea salt.
  • Add flour, stirring gently until evenly mixed. (mixture will be moist and thick)
  • Use clean hands to drop crumb mixture evenly across the top of the peach mixture in pan.
  • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until surface is golden brown.
  • Serve warm, topped with fresh whipped cream or your favorite vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Though I haven't tried it (yet!), fresh berries could be easily substituted for the peaches in this recipe.
