Hello from sunny Dubrovnik! Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram already saw that I arrived few days ago and now enjoying the sea, the sun and my family.
World has been such a crazy place lately and it seems that every morning we wake up to some horrible news waiting for us. That’s why I really really needed this time around my family and friends and in my hometown where I feel safe and somehow protected from everything bad in this world of ours. But let’s not think about all that and focus on the positive! The little things that make every day a bit better and happier! Like this delicious and healthy Peach crumble that is such a yummy little treat on these hot summer days.
Summer fruit makes everything better…
I am obsessed with summer fruit this year and I can’t have enough of it! If you follow my blog, you kind of got that idea already I think. Just remember that delicious, juicy Strawberry cake (here) or those yummy, chocolaty Cherries & chocolate blondies (here) or that Apricot millet vanilla pudding (here)! And now is time for peaches, sweet juicy peaches that make everything better, at least in my world ha ha. 😀
Crumble is one of those easy simple recipes that everybody likes, normally it’s made with butter but I made mine with coconut oil and coconut sugar and it’s equally delicious but just a little bit better for us. You can use any sugar you want of course but if you are using peaches that are quite sweet and juicy, you will be just fine with using coconut sugar that is less sweet than regular cane sugar. But that’s up to you of course, no judging here, food is made to be enjoyed and not to feel guilty about! 🙂
Oh and I have to mention that combination of peaches, vanilla, cinnamon and coconut sugar smells and taste amazing! I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and let me know what you think! In the recipe I used smaller 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 inch) baking pan but I made this crumble again yesterday for my family here so I used a larger rectangular baking pan so I just doubled up the quantities and it turned out great! 🙂
- For fruit layer
- 5 peaches, sliced
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or other sugar)

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- Preheat oven to 200 C / 350 F.
- Prepare baking pan and line it with baking paper (not necessary if using silicone pan).
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients for fruit layer (sliced peaches, coconut sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and water) and stir using a wooden spoon.

- Prepare crumble layer by adding all the crumble ingredients (flour, oats coconut oil, cinnamon, coconut sugar and salt) in a large mixing bowl and stir well until it's all combined.
- Add crumble on top of the peaches.

Crisps and crumbles are my all time favorite dessert, and this peach version looks spectacular! I made a similar one yesterday with peaches, plums and nectarines and it’s already gone. I think another one, your version, is in order soon. I hope your settling in well to Dubrovnik – so beautiful!
Thank you dear Rachel! Your one sounds amazing, I love all your recipes and your photos always make me drool! 😀 Dubrovnik is my hometown so I’m here for the summer holidays but I moved temporary to Zagreb, our capital and I’m slowly settling…until next move! 🙂
