A warm and comforting Bourbon Peach Crisp made with juicy ripe peaches baked in a rich bourbon-maple sauce and topped with a golden, buttery oat and pecan crumble.

Ingredients

3/4 cup old fashioned oats

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 1/2 lbs ripe but firm peaches, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup bourbon

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until clumps form. Refrigerate topping while preparing filling.
  4. In a large bowl, toss peach wedges with brown sugar, cornstarch, bourbon, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and salt.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the remaining butter, swirling to coat.
  6. Add the peaches and their juices, spreading them into an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle the chilled topping evenly over the peaches.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let rest for about 30 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Old fashioned oats provide the best crunchy texture.

Pecans can be swapped for walnuts or almonds.

Frozen peaches may be used if thawed and drained well.

The crisp thickens slightly as it cools.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
