Artificial Food Coloring Free Cherry Crumble with Coconut & Cassava Topping

Bubbling ruby-red cherries beneath a golden, crackly topping — this is the kind of dessert that makes a kitchen smell absolutely incredible. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, which matters when you're trying to avoid the synthetic dyes that sneak into so many packaged sweets and store-bought baked goods. Maple syrup does all the sweetening, arrowroot keeps the filling glossy and thick without any mystery additives, and Ceylon cinnamon adds a warm, delicate spice that feels genuinely special. The crumble itself comes together with cassava flour, tapioca starch, and shredded coconut worked into coconut oil — no artificial anything, just real texture and real flavor. That combination bakes up into something beautifully crisp at the edges while the cherry filling bubbles up through the gaps, jammy and bright with lemon. It's the kind of recipe that proves you don't need a single drop of food dye to make a dessert look and taste stunning. Let it rest those ten minutes before you dig in — the filling thickens just enough to make every scoop perfect.
