Easy Bourbon Peach Crumble  was originally published on DontMissMyPlate.com.

I love crumble, but I don't eat them enough. When I do, it usually has apple, but peaches are for the win too! During the summer, peach crumbles offer a subtle tartness, sweetness and crunch many of us appreciate in a light dessert. Served warm with ice cream or whipped cream, the spiced, caramelized peaches paired with a crunchy, buttery crumble melt together to make a sinfully good combination.

Add in some bourbon to enhance everything, and you have a fail-safe people pleaser!

As most people know, this dessert a variation of or considered interchangeable with peach cobbler. I say crumble because of the way I prepared the pastry, crumbling the cookie-like dough versus having thicker, large pieces on top. Essentially it is the same as the classic out of the American South—depends on how seriously you take all the nuances!

You can convert this into another simple, delicious dessert. Check out my no-churn Bourbon Peach Crumble Ice Cream, which you will love, here.

Ingredients:

  • 5 slightly firm peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted 
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon bourbon
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, gently mix your sliced peaches with the lemon juice, zest, and sugar. Try not to mix to the point of breaking them apart. Pour the butter, bourbon, and cream mixture over the peaches. Transfer the peaches to a lightly greased glass or oven-friendly baking pan.
  2. In another bowl, prepare the crumble. Mix the flour, melted butter, bourbon, spices, and baking powder. Top the peaches with the crumble mixture, and bake for 50 minutes at 350F. You can also sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg on top of the crumble before it goes into the oven.
  3. Take out the crumble to rest for 10 minutes, then serve with ice cream and whipped cream, serves 6.
