Print Recipe

A warm, comforting summer dessert featuring ripe peaches infused with bourbon and topped with a buttery, crumbly crisp, served with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently with bourbon, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter.
  4. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter chunks.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes to thicken the juices.
  8. Serve warm topped with generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Keep butter cold to ensure a crumbly topping. Let the crisp rest after baking to thicken juices. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Vanilla bean ice cream is essential for contrast. Can substitute bourbon with apple brandy or peach schnapps. For gluten-free, use almond flour and gluten-free oats.
