Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 fresh peaches (about 6 cups), sliced into wedges
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel)
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (for streusel)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (for streusel)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Slice 6-8 peaches into wedges (about 6 cups). In a large bowl, toss them with 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Let them sit for 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the peaches and their juices evenly over the batter.
- In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the peaches. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the cobbler sit for 10 minutes before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Notes
For a kid-friendly version, skip the bourbon and add a splash of orange juice. If your topping isn’t browning, broil it for 1-2 minutes for a golden finish. Let the cobbler rest after baking to allow it to thicken.
