Nitrate & Nitrite Free Apricot & Coconut Crumble

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, coconut-flecked crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes people hover near the oven waiting for it to cool. Fresh apricots are tossed with honey, bright lemon juice, warming Ceylon cinnamon, and a touch of grated ginger before being blanketed in a rustic topping made from cassava flour, tapioca starch, and shredded coconut. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from the preservatives that sneak into so many packaged baking mixes and processed sweeteners, so you can serve this with complete confidence. The crumble comes together by hand — just work the solid coconut oil and honey into the dry ingredients until you get those satisfying, pea-sized clumps that bake up crisp and caramelized on top. Arrowroot starch does the quiet work of thickening the filling as it cools, giving you that glossy, jammy texture without any additives. It's a genuinely wholesome dessert that doesn't taste like a compromise — just deeply fruity, warmly spiced, and impossible to stop eating.
