Gluten Free Doughnut Peach Skillet Crumble

This summery dessert is a peach lover's fantasy. There's nothing to detract from the flavor of peaches and it's topped with an indulgently decadent crumble. It comes together in less than half of hour and requires four ingredients. If you really wanted to indulge, you could serve it with a scoop of soft vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. As it's written, this dessert is naturally gluten-free and paleo, too!

Peaches aren't peaches unless they come from Georgia (the state; not the country.) That's the philosophy prevalent in the South of the United States this time of year.Unfortunately, Georgia peaches are delicate little fruits that won't take to international travel very well and you can't find them here in the UK. Instead, we've got these squashed little gems called doughnut or Saturn peaches that are super juicy and fragrant, and possibly Georgia peaches' best rival.

I love peaches. Canned, stewed, raw, brûléed. In a plate, bowl or cup--it doesn't matter. I also love quick desserts and desserts in manageable-sized portions. There's only three people in my family (and if you've seen the tour of my kitchen, you know that our fridge is tiny!) and the last thing we need is a dessert that promises to feed eight. That's why there's only two portions of this one. And since each crumble is made with a whole peach, it's one of your five a day, too!

Ingredients:

For the crumble
2 ripe doughnut peaches
2 tablespoons cold water
50 grams (3.5 tablespoons) butter, cubed
100 grams (2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons) almond meal or ground almonds

Notes:

• I deliberately left out the sugar in my crumble rub because the peaches were over the top sweet. If yours aren't as sweet as you'd like, feel free to add in a spoonful or two of sugar. Alternatively, you could crumble up a couple of Amaretti biscuits for added sweetness.
• You can halve or increase this recipe simply by adding one peach per person and halving or increasing the ingredients for the crumble topping.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180c /350f.
2. Rub the ground almonds and butter together using the pads of your fingers to form a crumble. If the mix is overly dry and won't keep its shape, drizzle in a bit of the cold water.
3. Grease the inside of each skillet with a bit of butter.
4. Dice the peaches, removing the skins if you prefer, and divide between the skillets.
5. Top with the crumble and bake for about 10 minutes or until the crumble turns golden brown and the peaches are warm.
