Turmeric Free Peach & Coconut Crumble
Warm, bubbling peach filling crowned with a golden, coconut-flecked crumble — this dessert is the kind of thing that disappears fast at any table. The filling leans on fresh peaches, a touch of honey, and a squeeze of lemon juice, with arrowroot starch doing the quiet work of pulling everything into a glossy, jammy sauce as it bakes. Ceylon cinnamon and ginger add gentle warmth without overwhelming the fruit, and because every single ingredient here is naturally free of turmeric, there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. The crumble itself is built on cassava flour and unsweetened shredded coconut, which gives it a satisfying, slightly chewy texture that's a step above the usual oat-based topping. Solid coconut oil gets worked in until the mixture is clumpy and rustic, then honey binds it just enough to create those irresistible golden clusters on top. It bakes up beautifully in about 35 to 40 minutes, and that short rest after it comes out of the oven is worth every second — the filling thickens into something truly spoonable. Serve it as-is or with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream for a dessert that feels both wholesome and completely indulgent.
