Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup bourbon, cornstarch, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in cold butter cubes using a pastry cutter or two forks until pea-sized pieces form.
  5. Add buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork just until the dough comes together (it will be shaggy and slightly sticky).
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the peach filling, leaving gaps for juices to bubble through.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. While cobbler bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves; simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  9. When cobbler is done, immediately brush or drizzle the warm glaze over the hot topping. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the filling rest for 10-15 minutes before baking to allow cornstarch to thicken. Don’t skip the resting time after baking—at least 15 minutes is crucial for the filling to set. Use a baking sheet under the dish to catch overflow. For best results, use ripe but firm peaches and keep butter cold for the topping.
