A warm and comforting peach cobbler with a twist of brown sugar and bourbon, featuring a tender golden crust and bubbling fruit filling. Perfect for cozy gatherings and quick homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%; almond milk can be used for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar. Add softened butter and blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in milk and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. Batter should be thick but spoonable.
  5. Pour peach filling and juices into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  7. Let cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken the filling.

Notes

If topping is too thick to spread, wet your spoon or spatula slightly. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. Use frozen peaches without thawing fully. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Avoid substituting bourbon with whiskey or rum for best flavor. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast.
