Peach Crumble

At my restaurant, The Beach House, I quickly learned that no matter how sophisticated my diners were, their favorite desserts were the old fashioned homestyle desserts.  From Hot Fudge Sundaes to Apple pie I would watch grownups turn into kids as they devoured their desserts with delight!  One of my favorite Beach House desserts was the Seasonal Fruit Crumble.  Below is a super fast & easy recipe so you can make this your seasonal fruit crumble too – blueberry, blackberry, mango, strawberry –  they are all delicious!

Serves 6-8

**Liza’s tip:  I keep bags of granola and seasonal organic frozen fruit in my freezer so I’m always prepared to turn grownups into kids!

Ingredients:

  • 4 – 10 ounce bags frozen organic peaches
  • 3 cups granola
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded
  • 1/3 cup 100% pure maple syrup
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven 400 degrees
  2. Rinse frozen peaches
  3. Place peaches  in 9” glass dish – smashing them in tightly
  4. In a separate mixing bowl combine granola, melted butter and coconut and mix thoroughly
  5. Pour granola mixture on top of peaches and pack down tightly so it’s level with the dish
  6. Pour 1/3 cup maple syrup over the granola evenly
  7. Bake in the oven uncovered until fruit is bubbling 30-40 minutes
  8. Dish individual servings in a small bowl and top with a scoop of low fat vanilla yogurt – Yum!

**Liza’s tip:  I bake this way before my guests arrive. I love the way it makes the house smell. When it’s done baking, I cover it and leave it out. Right before we sit down for dinner I stick it back in the oven set for 300 degrees – that way by the time we’re finished with dinner it’s ready to serve, nice and hot!
