Perfect Brown Sugar Bourbon Peach Cobbler Recipe with Vanilla Ice Cream

Print Recipe

A comforting and easy homemade peach cobbler featuring brown sugar and bourbon for a warm, sophisticated twist, topped with a buttery crust and served with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, ¾ cup brown sugar, bourbon, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly with syrupy juices.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar.
  5. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined; batter will be thick but spreadable.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the peach filling.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes until topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes to thicken juices.
  10. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Macerate peaches with brown sugar and bourbon for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor and juiciness. Keep butter cold when cutting into flour for a flaky crust. If filling is too runny, add a small amount of cornstarch before baking. Chill batter briefly before dolloping for better crust texture. Cover with foil if crust browns too fast. Serve warm but not piping hot to prevent ice cream from melting too quickly.
