Homemade Peach Cobbler (Bourbon Spiked)
This mouthwatering peach cobbler is made with cinnamon sugared peaches, topped with a buttery shortbread-like topping, then baked to bubbly perfection. My recipe is extremely versatile so you can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, which means you can make this alllll year round!
If using frozen peaches, you’ll want to thaw them first, otherwise your cobbler will be too runny.
Variations of this recipe
Non-alcoholic – even though most of the alcohol is cooked off during the baking process, you may not like the taste of bourbon, or just prefer not to add it. I would substitute it with an equal amount of liquid from the canned peaches, or an equal amount of lemon juice.
Brown sugar – try swapping the sugar on the peaches with brown sugar for a more caramel-y flavor.
Ginger – try adding 1/4 tsp of fresh grated ginger to the peach mixture.
Pecan – adding about 1/3 cup of chopped pecans to the topping adds beautiful texture and flavor.
