Recipe Introduction
Well, except Grandma's was a lot higher carb than this! This is a
charming, old-fashioned dessert.
Note: If you can't get polyol sweeteners (maltitol, erythritol, and the
like) locally, you can get them from lots of low carb etailers. My pals
at Carb Smart carry them: http://www.carbsmart.com . I prefer erythritol
for most uses - it has a very low absorption rate, so you get very few
usable carbs from it, and it's less likely to cause gastro-intestinal
effects, too. You could use all Splenda, instead, but you won't get the
same syrupy, gooey quality to the fruit filling. It'll taste good, though!
List of Ingredients
* 4 cups sliced peaches
* 1/4 cup Splenda
* 1/4 cup polyol
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 8 tablespoons butter, divided
* 1/2 cup almond meal
* 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
* 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 tablespoon Splenda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches (I use unsweetened, frozen
peach slices -- saves lots of time and trouble, and since they're going
to be cooked, it makes no difference in the final texture), 1/4 cup
Splenda, polyol, and lemon juice. Toss everything together, and spread
evenly in the pan. Dot with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
In another mixing bowl (or heck, go ahead and use the same one if you
like) combine the almond meal, vanilla whey, baking powder, the 1
tablespoon of Splenda, and the salt. Stir together to evenly distribute
ingredients.
Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter. Measure the cream, and stir
the butter into it. Pour into the dry ingredients, and mix with a few
swift strokes of your whisk or a spoon -- you just want to stir enough
to insure that there are no pockets of dry ingredients lurking.
Spread the batter evenly over the peaches, and bake for 30 minutes, or
until the crust is crisp and evenly golden brown. Serve warm.
