Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined, forming a soft dough.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a splash of bourbon to the peach mixture after it’s baked.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.
  • If you don’t have fresh peaches, frozen or canned (drained) peaches can be used, though fresh is recommended for the best texture.
