Print Recipe

A warm, comforting peach crisp featuring ripe peaches and a buttery oat crumble topping enhanced with a splash of bourbon for subtle warmth and depth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 ripe peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Blanching peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water makes peeling easier.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons flour. Toss gently to coat all the peach slices.
  4. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a 9×9 inch baking dish, scraping out all the juices.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the crisp rest for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use cold butter for the crumble topping to achieve a crispy texture. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the filling to avoid a watery crisp. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. The crisp is best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven to maintain topping crispiness.
