Best Bourbon Peach Cobbler Recipes

BOURBON PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the peaches, bourbon, 1/4 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss to coat.
• Sift the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cut 1 1/2 sticks of the butter into small pieces; add to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the cream and mix just until the dough comes together. Don't overwork; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the peach mixture and cook gently until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish (or leave in the skillet). Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the warm peaches. (There can be gaps because the dough will puff up and spread as it bakes.) Brush the top with some heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar and a little extra cinnamon.
• Bake in the oven on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) until the cobbler is browned and the fruit is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm with the ice cream.

OVER-THE-COALS BOURBON, BLUEBERRY AND PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Start a campfire and wait until the flames die down and the coals glow red with white ash. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the peaches, blueberries, bourbon, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well to coat the peaches and blueberries evenly. Set aside.
• Make the topping: In a second large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender, 2 knives or your hands. Mix until the texture is coarse and clumps in your palm when you squeeze a handful. Add the heavy cream and mix just until the dough comes together a bit more.
• Pour the filling into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven with a fitted lid and spread it out evenly. Spoon the topping mixture evenly over the filling, then cover with the lid. Place the skillet adjacent to the hot coals in a place where it will get a good amount of radiant heat so the topping cooks through evenly without burning. Use a metal shovel to pile hot coals on top of the lid (this will distribute heat from the top). Cook 45 to 50 minutes, rotating the skillet 90 degrees every 10 minutes so the cobbler cooks evenly. (Feed the fire with more wood as needed.) Change out the hot coals on top 2 or 3 times during cooking so the top stays hot throughout. When the cobbler is done, the fruit will be bubbling around the edges and the topping will be light and fluffy. Serve the cobbler straight from the pan with vanilla yogurt on the side.
• You can also bake the cobbler, uncovered, in a 375 degrees F oven, 30 to 35 minutes.

SOUTHERN BOURBON FRESH PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Reserve peals and pits from peaches.
• Mix sliced peaches, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon powder in a bowl and reserve.
• Combine bourbon (Maker's Mark is really good in this), orange juice, lemon juice, lemon zest, fruit jam, cinnamon stick, and peach scraps in a sauce pan, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and reduce mixture for approximately 10 minutes.
• Mix flour, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside or in refrigerator for a few minutes. I have also used Dry Buttermilk Pancake Mix and 1/2 cup milk in place of the flour, buttermilk, baking powder and baking soda.
• Strain reduced orange juice mixture and mix with peaches.
• Pour melted butter into an 8x11" baking pan.
• Spoon dough mixture over butter evenly, but leaving some gaps (this helps the dough rise over the peaches later.
• Pour peaches over dough.
• Bake for about 1 hour at 350F, or until the crust has risen to top of cobbler and crisped slightly. Can add a bit of sugar to top of cobbler just before finished and place in broiler to get a crisper caramelized topping, but beware this can be tricky.

VEGAN BOURBON COBBLER (PEACH, NECTARINE, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine all ingredients up to lemon juice in a large bowl and let sit.
• Pour apple sauce on bottom of an 8 1/2" by 11" baking pan.
• Combine flour with remaining ingredients except sugar for topping.
• Drop tablespoon fulls of the dough onto the apple sauce on pan to cover. Leave some small gaps as this helps the dough rise through the fruit to get crisp on the top.
• Pour fruit mixture over dough.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until dough is cooked.
• Top with remaining sugar if desired and bake an additional 5-15 minutes until top is crisp. You can also try the broiler, or a kitchen torch to carmelize the sugar. It is easy to burn the top doing this, so be sure to check regularly if this is your chosen method.
