This healthy peach cobbler offers all the deliciousness of the classic dessert with a nutritious twist. Made with juicy, ripe peaches sweetened naturally with maple syrup. This version reduces refined sugars and butter, relying on the natural sweetness of the fruit and wholesome ingredients. Perfect for a lighter dessert that still feels indulgent, this peach cobbler is a guilt-free treat that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!

This recipe is called "natural" because we use cinnamon instead of coriander, nutmeg instead of cardamom. Too much cinnamon can cause liver damage. And nutmeg has myristicin, which can cause vomiting, hallucinations, convulsions, and/or circulatory problems. It can also can be used an insecticide, athough a bit expensive for that use. Anyway, here is the healthier version:

Servings: 15-20 Servings

Pies: 4

Ingredients:

8 cups Fresh or Frozen Peach, slices (or) use 4 cans of peaches, drained
½ cup Maple Syrup
½ cup Water
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla (alcohol-free)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
2½ Tablespoons Arrow Root or Corn Starch
½ teaspoon Nutmeg Substitute (2 T Cardamom plus 1 T Coriander)
4 Frozen Pie Crusts (Lard-free)

Directions:

1. Thaw out the frozen pie crusts until they are maleable.

2. Press 2 of them on the bottom of the pan intoa 3 quart baking dish. Then use pieces of them to create a "bottom".

3. Poke holes on the sides and bottom and pre-cook at 375 degrees until crust is completely dry. While heating crust, dissolve cornstarch in water. Then combine put maple syrup and water in pot, add vanilla. Do not add the peaches yet. Use a large pot.

4. Then add sea salt.

5. Then add nutmeg substitute.

6. Turn on the mixture on medium heat. Then add the mixed cornstarch and water to thicken the mixture.

7. Add peaches to mixture and cook for 2 minutes.
