Simple Fresh Peach Crisp (dairy, egg, gluten, nut, soy free)
4-6 fresh, ripe peaches 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon tapioca starch 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup plain oats 1-2 tablespoons beef tallow or plant-based butter Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel, pit, and chop the peaches, doing as much of the work as possible over an 8x8" baking dish to retain as much peach juice as you can, but making sure no pit chunks or stems get in the mix. Add the brown sugar, tapioca starch, and vanilla to the peaches, and mix them thoroughly.
