  4. Blend the almond meal, dates, and oil until fine in a food processor or blender.
  5. Mix the almond meal date mixture in a bowl with one cup of oats, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  8. Crumble topping on top of the fruit. Sprinkle almonds if desired.
  9. Bake:
    – If using fresh fruit: Bake uncovered for 25-35 min until fruit is soft and bubbling and topping is browned.
    – If using all frozen fruit: Bake covered with foil for the first30 min, then bake uncovered for the last 25-30 minutes to brown the topping (total baking 55-60 min).
  10. Optional: Serve with plain yogurt, plain Greek yogurt or plain coconut milk yogurt.

Note: This recipe is best with fresh, ripe, in-season peaches. If fresh, ripe peaches not available you can substitute frozen and extend bake time. Frozen or fresh berries work well.
