Mangia is Italian for “eat” and Chelsy has some fantastic recipes to do just that. Please check out this super-woman who eats her eggs with jelly and likes her toast burnt to a crisp (like a sacrifice, ya’ll). This super-fit Texan has so many sweet and decadent recipes on her site, how does she stay so trim????
What to make, what to make? The contest began to pick the perfect recipe from Mangia.
These are GloHaven peaches that I froze last summer.
I made a few changes to Chelsy’s original recipe. Instead of fresh peaches, I had frozen peaches from last summer in the freezer that needed used up. I added Amaretto (because I love it with peaches and berries) and left out the lemon juice (because the frozen peaches had a bit of ascorbic acid in them). I also swapped out the butter in the crumble for coconut oil.
4 c. frozen peaches (thawed and drained of most juice)
1 c. frozen raspberries (thawed and drained of most juice)
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. whole wheat flour
3 T. amaretto
For the crunchy topping:
1 c. chopped pecans*
2/3 c. rolled oats
1/3 c. brown sugar
4 T. coconut oil, melted
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×9 glass baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Place fruit in a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cinnamon, sugar and flour. Sprinkle dry ingredients over fruit and carefully mix.
Place fruit mixture in the prepared baking pan. Carefully pour the Amaretto over the fruit.
Set aside to make crumble.
Place the nuts, oats, and brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl and combine. (I like to use a small whisk for this.) Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the top of the mixture and continue to combine with the whisk. It should look like a crumble at this point!
Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it entirely.
Crumbled and ready for the oven.
Place in preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble is a golden brown. (I placed the baking pan on a lined cookie sheet in case it boiled over.)
Look at this nutty, crunchy goodness!
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
*Chelsey’s nut chopping tip: She puts them in a Zip-loc and lets out some steam with the rolling pin…”so much fun.”
This crumble topping is so delicious. I love all the nutty goodness and I really like using the coconut oil. This may be my new topping for all crumbles. I also can’t wait to try it as a muffin topping. Thank you, Chelsy!
Please check out Chelsy’s site for all her wonderful recipes! And, she is hilarious!!!!! Great reading and great recipes!
Thanks to our SRC hosts Jane, Sarah, Suzanne, and the fabulous Group C host, Debbi. They do a super fantastic job keeping us all organized, informed, and on track! Thank you, ladies!
YUM! And actually quite healthy, with very little sugar compared to pies. So pretty too! And on an unrelated note, I thought I got a “best banana bread” recipe email update in my inbox from your site but I don’t see that recipe here. I need your best banana bread recipe! Where are you hiding it?!
Oh this Peach-Raspberry Crumble with Amaretto sounds and looks delicious. I was thinking how you get fresh peaches so early…and I read on and you explained those are from last year’s crop. I can’t wait to get some fresh peaches and try this lovely recipe. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Yay! I am sooooo thrilled that you enjoyed this recipe! It is one of my faves, especially in these spring and summer seasons. Perfect w/ a scoop of homemade ice cream! xoxo! 🙂
No, thank you Chelsy! I love that this recipe is not too sweet which is perfect (like you say) with a scoop of vanilla bean! You don’t know how hard it has been to not comment on your posts. You are hilarious! 🙂
Did you get those peaches in Porter? I remember going over there every summer for the Porter Peach Festival! I just love peaches and raspberries so I’m going to have to try this because I honestly have not had them together!
These actually did come from Porter. We picked about five pounds off our own tree and got a BUNCH of peaches and nectarines from Porter. Chelsy was a genius putting raspberries and peaches together!! (Got the apron today! Thanks!)
That looks great and quite tempting. I would have picked this one too. From all the photos and linkups here I could plan a menu for a month. Very beautiful dishes.
I love crumbles. Sprinkle on some amaretto and I won’t be sharing the dish with anyone! I’m also jealous that you have fresh frozen peaches on hand still! Mine are all gone (sob, sob).
This is one of the best crumbles I have ever made. I love the addition of a lot of pecans. Almonds would have been better with the Amaretto, but I didn’t have any in the freezer and besides, pecans are local.
How handy to have some frozen peaches left over. Adding amaretto, brilliant. But I always like boozy additions! And the coconut oil sub probably gave it a nice little extra flavor. You never cease to amaze me and make me lick my chops.
What a great choice! Loved your other options too 🙂 Keep reading about coconut oil and have never tried it… But, I’ll second the Amaretto. It’s perfect with this.
I would have picked the peach raspberry crumble, too! In fact I have some summer peaches in my freezer that need to be used up…and this is the perfect recipe!
I’d like to invite you to my Friday Flash Blog, where you can share your best blog entry of the week! The party goes on ALL weekend at thejennyevolution.com. And who knows, you may just get featured next week.

Yes, the topping for this is a keeper! (I emailed you about my banana bread mispost. It will post May 2, I think. I will not keep it from you!) 🙂

Fresh peaches that were frozen last summer! Thanks for stopping by, Amy.

Um yum? No. YUM! I love the flavours of peach and raspberry together!

Yes, I would not have thought of this before SRC. Now I am dreaming of fresh peach ice cream this summer with raspberry sauce!
I can’t wait for peach season!
Me, too. I am so glad you got me this month. Doing some secret lurking around, are we? 🙂 Hope your really liked the beer bread!

Thanks, Tina. I am now off to check out some of the other posts!

I look forward to stone fruit season! This looks so tempting.
Me too, Angie. I think I have one final bag of peaches in the freezer.

You have a good point about the extra coconut flavor. What about adding rum, unsweetened flake coconut to the crumble….A pina colada crumble????
What a great choice! Loved your other options too 🙂 Keep reading about coconut oil and have never tried it… But, I’ll second the Amaretto. It’s perfect with this.
Kate, you must get your hands on some coconut oil as soon as you are able!!
look and sounds really delicious!!
Thanks, Gloria. It is pretty simple to make too.
Yum, this sounds really good! Peach and raspberry are perfect together 🙂
They really are a perfect pairing and I would not have thought of this on my own.
Oh Deb this looks so good! I will bring the vanilla ice cream. What a great recipe and looks super tasty. Glad to be part of SRC group C with you!
Its a date, Veronica. I will make another crumble and you bring the ice cream!
Your dish looks and sounds incredibly tasty. Glad to be part of SRC group C with you!
Thanks, Lisa. U2!
I love making crumbles this time of year- so simple and delicious. This one looks good.
I can’t wait for all the fruits of summer!
Amaretto has a very distinctive taste and flavors perfectly everything you put it in. This crumble looks very appetizing!
I really haven’t found anything yet that doesn’t go well with Amaeretto!
I love using coconut oil for my savoury cooking so I really should try with a dessert as it sounds like it adds such a nice depth of flavour 🙂
And I haven’t tried it in savory cooking!
Hi, Eliot! What a wonderful fruit crumble. There is not a single ingredient that I don’t like here…Wow! I’ll have to make one for me pretty soon.
Great, Denise. I hope you do try it.
I would have picked the peach raspberry crumble, too! In fact I have some summer peaches in my freezer that need to be used up…and this is the perfect recipe!
Pleas tell what you think.
