Print Recipe

A warm, comforting peach cobbler infused with a subtle bourbon flavor, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream. This easy homemade dessert balances sweet peaches, buttery crust, and a hint of spice for a perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about ½-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup whole milk (room temperature; can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 large peaches into about ½-inch thick slices. Toss them gently with ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons bourbon in a large bowl. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and release juices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add ½ cup melted butter, ½ cup whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir just until combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Spoon the bourbon-peach mixture evenly over the batter, including the juices. The peaches will sink slightly during baking.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. The aroma of warm peaches and bourbon should fill your kitchen.
  6. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
  7. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

If peaches seem watery, toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch before macerating to thicken juices. Avoid overmixing batter to keep crust tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute dairy and flour accordingly.
