Can I make this dessert without a grill?

Absolutely! You can achieve similar results by broiling the peaches in your oven. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet, add the toppings, and broil for 5-8 minutes until caramelized and soft.

How can I tell if my peaches are ripe enough for grilling?

The perfect peach for grilling should give slightly when gently squeezed but not be mushy. It should smell fragrant, and the skin should have vibrant color. Too firm and they won't soften properly; too soft and they'll fall apart on the grill.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour if you don't need the recipe to be gluten-free. The texture and flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

What other fruits work well with this grilling method?

This technique works beautifully with nectarines, plums, apricots, and even pineapple. Adjust cooking times based on the firmness of the fruit – softer fruits will need less time.

Instructions

Preheat Grill: Warm your grill to medium heat to ensure even cooking of the peaches.
Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and crushed gluten-free cookies. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Prepare the Peaches: Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter (or oil/vegan butter). Sprinkle each peach half with coconut sugar and cinnamon for added flavor.
Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut side down on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to soften.
Add the Crumble and Finish Grilling: Turn the peach halves over. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each peach half. Cover and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the crumb is golden and the peaches are tender with grill marks.
Serve: Remove the peaches from the grill and serve them warm, topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

You can substitute regular butter with vegan butter or coconut oil for a vegan option.
Use your favorite gluten-free cookies for the crumb; gingersnaps or vanilla wafers work well.
Serve immediately for the best texture, as the crumble loses its crunch if left sitting.
Try with non-dairy ice cream for a fully vegan dessert.
