Bourbon Peach Crisp

It's Peach Season! Chad doesn't like peaches, but he loves this recipe. It's super simple: the key is the fresh, ripe peaches, but the bourbon really makes the flavors sing. 

You can use any bourbon for this recipe, but I use Old Forester 100 proof; the rich fruit and brown sugar notes in the bourbon really complement the peach and cinnamon in the filling. 

Bourbon Peach Crisp
Makes 6-8 servings

Ingredients

For the peach filling:

• 8-10 fresh peaches (~8 cups) peeled and sliced thin
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp bourbon (we used Old Forester 100) 
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 Tbsp corn starch
• 2 tsp cinnamon

 For the topping: 

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Tbsp bourbon 

Instructions

1 Remove the butter from the fridge and bring to room temperature

2 Preheat oven to 400° and coat an 8x8” baking dish with butter or non-stick spray

3 In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for the peach filling. Stir until well coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish and set aside

4 In a separate bowl mix all ingredients for the topping. Use your hands to combine until the oats are fully coated and the mixture is crumbly

5 Place the oats on top of the peach mixture. Spreading them evenly so the dish is completely covered

6 Bake for 20 minutes until the oat topping appears crisp and golden brown

7 Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Or, cool for longer to allow the peach filling to set

8 Optional: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
