• ¼ cup (78g) pure maple syrup

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• Optional: 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

For the Topping:

• 1 cup (95g) old fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free if desired

• 1 cup (112g) raw chopped pecans

• ⅓ cup (71g) dark brown sugar (can also sub coconut sugar but brown sugar is best)

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• ¼ cup (56g) melted and cooled coconut oil (can also sub melted butter)

  
  

For the Salted Coconut Milk Caramel:

• ¼ cup (59g) canned coconut milk (light or full fat will work — just make sure the full fat is stirred completely first)

• ¼ cup (60g) water

• ¼ cup (39g) coconut sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Peaches: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash, pit, and slice your peaches into thin slices. In a large bowl, combine the peaches with maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using a vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and add them here). Toss gently to coat.

   
   

2. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped pecans, dark brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cooled melted coconut oil until well combined.

3. Assemble the Crisp: Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.

4. Bake the Crisp: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

5. Make the Salted Coconut Milk Caramel: While the crisp is baking, combine the coconut milk, water, and coconut sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and sea salt.

   Serve and Enjoy: Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with the warm salted coconut milk caramel. Enjoy this delightful peach crisp!
