Labor Day Bourbon Peach Cobbler

  • Author: Harper
  • Total Time: 65-70 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A sophisticated and comforting dessert that bridges summer and autumn, featuring caramelized peaches infused with bourbon and topped with a rustic, crumbly biscuit crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Drizzle bourbon evenly over the peaches and gently stir to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Cut cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  8. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla, stirring gently until the dough is shaggy and sticky. Do not overmix.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches, allowing some fruit to peek through.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling vigorously.
  11. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  12. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
  13. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky topping. Let peaches rest with sugar to draw out juices. Ensure the filling is bubbling vigorously to confirm the cornstarch has thickened properly. Serve immediately for best texture. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
