This recipe jumped out at me from one of my favorite cookbooks- Dishing Up the Dirt by Andrea Bemis, a CSA farmer in Oregon. I love her book with it’s many seasonal recipes, and this one is top of the list! Peaches are just finishing up here, and whether you get them from a local farmer, or a Costco- it’s important to get them organic!!

Also, you can use any kind of flour or sugar. If you are flexibly Keto (you eat some fruit) or are gluten free, then use the best sugars or flours that apply to you. This makes a superior brunch sweet treat, and even though it may seem a little intimidating to make, its well worth it!

  • 4 large peaches washed and pitted

  • fresh blue berries washed

Crust

  • 2/3 cup almonds

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 7 tablespoons chilled, unsalted butter cut into 1/2 – inch chunks

  • 1 egg yolk.

  • After dough as been frozen, let it set for 10 minutes at room temperature and then place between 2 pieces of parchment paper and begin to roll with excess flour. You will need flour because the dough will be moist.

  • Add all the almonds into the flour and continue to roll out. The dough should be mixed and flattened about 10 inches round.
