Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6-7 peaches (approximately 6 cups), peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup palm shortening (softened but not melted)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and chop the peaches into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly and create a luscious filling.
- Cook the Filling: Place the chopped peaches in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add coconut sugar and tapioca flour, then stir to combine.
- Simmer the Mixture: Let the peach mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency.
- Preheat Oven and Grease Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with palm shortening and set it aside.
- Make the Topping Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, combine cassava flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly.
- Add Wet Ingredients to Topping: Add softened palm shortening, honey, egg, and almond milk to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Once the peach filling has thickened, pour it into the prepared baking dish. Spread the topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor; freestone peaches are easiest to peel and chop.
- Coconut sugar is recommended to keep the recipe paleo, but cane sugar can be substituted if not strictly paleo.
- Ensure the palm shortening is softened to help mix the topping evenly but avoid melting it completely.
- The topping dough may be slightly sticky; spreading it gently with wet fingers or a spatula can help.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
