There are a few tricks to making this crumble recipe both delicious and nutritious.

First, be sure to use in-season fruit. The sweeter the fruit, the less sugar you will need in your crisp. If it is not stone fruit season in your neck of the woods, use whatever sweet fruit is in season in its place. In the fall or winter? Try making this Lightened Up Crumble with apples and pears.

Next, swap the white sugar for healthier options. In place of traditional sugar, this Lightened Up Peach Apricot Crumble uses a combo of maple syrup and coconut sugar. Both of these sweeteners contain more nutrients and minerals.

Our final swap is to use coconut oil in place of butter. Using coconut oil as a healthy fat eliminates dairy from this recipe which is known to cause inflammation. It is also neutral in flavor, and helps our crisp topping achieve it’s beautiful golden brown color.
