Simple Raw Peach Cobbler

Growing up in Georgia, peaches were the true taste of summer. Every year my Mom and aunt would go to the farmer's market and return with bushels of peaches, which they would prepare and freeze for us to enjoy all year long. However, they never tasted quite as delicious as they did when they were fresh. 


This past weekend I came home from the farmer's market with several peaches and have been enjoying them many ways. This simple raw peach cobbler might be on of my favorite peach creations so far. It takes little time to prepare and few ingredients are used. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!


Simple Raw Peach Cobbler
(serves 2, or 1 if you find yourself not wanting to share!)

For the cobbler

• 3 ripe peaches
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• a pinch of cardamom
• Small squeeze of lemon

For the crust

• 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• a pinch of salt
• 1 Tablespoon coconut butter ( I use Coconut Mana by Nutiva)

1. Peel and thinly slice peaches. Place them in a bowl, squeeze lemon juice over them, add cinnamon and cardamon, and mix well to coat each slice of peach. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Add coconut butter (may need to be softened if yours is too hard to mix) to pecan mixture and combine. I found that using my hands were a great option here, helping to further warm my coconut butter and better combine ingredients. 
3. Layer peaches in a small bowl or tart pan, making an even stack. Top with pecan mixture. Let set for at least 10 minutes giving flavors time to combine. Enjoy! 

***Note: If your peaches are not very sweet, you may want to add 1/2-1 Tablespoon of maple syrup. This is best at room temperature.
