A quick and easy peach cobbler with a crispy golden crust and a warm bourbon-spiked peach filling, served best with melting vanilla ice cream for a comforting homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free alternatives like oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons bourbon. Toss gently to coat and let sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract just until combined, forming a thick but spreadable batter.
  6. Pour the peach mixture, including juices, evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the topping batter over the peaches, covering as evenly as possible. It’s okay if some peaches peek through.
  8. Lightly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar over the batter to help form a crispy top.
  9. Bake on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
  10. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes after baking to thicken the juices.
  11. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a crispy, flaky crust. Let peaches macerate with sugar and bourbon to release juices and enhance flavor. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. For less alcohol, substitute bourbon with vanilla extract or peach schnapps. Use almond flour for gluten-free version and reduce milk slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or dairy-free alternatives.
