This Bourbon Brown Sugar Peach Cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert with a grown-up kick. The bourbon adds smoky warmth, while brown sugar creates a thick, syrupy caramel around juicy peaches, all topped with a golden, slightly crisp cobbler topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches (ripe but firm), sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (divided: 1/2 cup for filling, 1/2 cup for topping)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a rack in the middle position.
  2. Wash and slice 6 medium peaches into wedges about 1/2-inch thick. Place the slices in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour this over the peaches. Add 1/4 cup bourbon and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss gently until every peach slice is coated. Set aside.
  4. Place 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven for 3-5 minutes, until melted. Remove the dish and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Pour in 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
  7. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do NOT stir. Then, spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a tough topping. Let the peaches sit for 5-10 minutes after tossing with bourbon and brown sugar to draw out juices. If browning too quickly, tent with foil. Let cobbler rest at least 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set. For frozen peaches, thaw and drain first, and add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch.
