This bourbon peach cobbler features a warm, caramel-like richness from bourbon, a thick and luscious peach filling, and a buttery, golden biscuit topping. Perfect for gatherings, it serves 12 to 15 people and is made with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced (about 6–8 medium peaches, or two 16-ounce bags frozen unsweetened slices)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Turbinado or coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your 9×13 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, bourbon, and salt. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or two forks until pea-sized crumbs form.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla. Stir with a fork just until the dough comes together. It will be shaggy and a little sticky.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling. Don’t spread it out. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if using.
  7. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Let the cobbler cool for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. For a bourbon-free version, substitute with 1/4 cup apple cider or peach nectar plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and add an extra tablespoon of buttermilk. For a dairy-free version, use cold coconut oil instead of butter and unsweetened almond milk mixed with lemon juice instead of buttermilk.
