Print Recipe

A warm and comforting homemade peach cobbler with a subtle bourbon twist, topped with a tender, flaky crust and served with vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for GF version)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature; almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice about 6 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them in a large bowl with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons bourbon. Stir gently to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add cold butter pieces and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Pour in milk and vanilla extract to the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the peach mixture with juices into the greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the peaches, leaving some gaps. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and sugar on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving with vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Let peaches macerate with sugar and bourbon to soften and release juices. Use cold butter for a flaky topping. Do not overmix the topping batter to keep it light. Watch the cobbler near the end of baking to prevent burning; cover with foil if browning too fast. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken juices. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk. Bourbon flavor is subtle as most alcohol cooks off.
