BHA & BHT Free Apricot & Coconut Crumble

Fresh apricots, warm spices, and a golden coconut crumble come together in a dessert that feels both rustic and a little bit special. The filling is brightened with fresh lemon juice and grated ginger, then sweetened with honey and thickened naturally with arrowroot starch — no synthetic additives, no preservatives, nothing that doesn't belong. That matters more than it might seem, because packaged baked goods and dessert mixes are among the sneakiest sources of BHA and BHT, often tucked into fats, coatings, or "natural flavors" on the label. Here, every single ingredient is whole and straightforward, so you know exactly what you're eating. The crumble itself is built on cassava flour, tapioca starch, and shredded coconut worked together with solid coconut oil and honey until it forms those irresistible coarse, golden clumps. After about 35 to 40 minutes in the oven, the apricot filling bubbles up jammy and fragrant while the topping turns crisp and deeply toasted. Let it rest for ten minutes and the filling thickens into something that scoops beautifully — no artificial anything required.
