  5. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl mix the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup coconut sugar until evenly combined and there are no lumps.
  6. Add the melted butter or oil, and combine until no dry spots remain.
  7. Press 2/3 of the almond crust evenly onto the bottom and about ½ inch up the sides.

  14. Slice into wedges and enjoy with all your senses.

Notes

Don’t peel and slice the peaches until the crust is made, sitting makes them too watery.
