Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts if using.
  6. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering completely.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a crumbly topping. Use cornstarch to thicken peach juices and prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smoother texture. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
