Ingredients
- 8-10 Golden apricots
- 4 Tbsp Coconut oil
- 1 Cup Coconut flour
- 1/2 Cup *Tiger nut flour
- 1/3 Cup Coconut sugar
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut raw or toasted
- 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon Ceylon cinnamon is best.
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Halve and pit the apricots.
- Over medium heat in an ovenproof skillet (iron skillets work well), melt 1 tablespoon coconut oil and heat for a few minutes until it starts to bubble a bit, then arrange the apricots cut side down in the skillet, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and allow to brown for 2-3 minutes. When the cut side is nicely browned flip the apricots over and cook for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat to prevent overcooking. Let rest while you make the crumble topping.
- In a small bowl mix together 3 tablespoons softened or melted coconut oil, shredded coconut, the flours, vanilla, remaining spices and coconut sugar until it forms a crumbly but pasty mixture and cover the apricots in the pan with the mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 min until top is golden and crumble topping is fully baked. Apricots will be bubbly.
- Remove from oven and serve warm with a desired creamy topping. Keeps well in the fridge and is a great make-ahead breakfast dish as well as yummy dessert!
