Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned with 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, toasted)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 4 cups of fresh peaches. Toss with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon bourbon, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Set aside to macerate.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Swirl frequently until butter foams and turns golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons bourbon. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and 1/2 cup toasted chopped nuts if using. Pour in bourbon brown butter and stir until coarse clumps form.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour peach mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and spread evenly. Crumble topping over peaches, leaving some fruit exposed.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble at edges. Cover loosely with foil if topping browns too fast.
  6. While baking, chill a mixing bowl and beaters. Beat 1 cup cold heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Let crumble cool about 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with vanilla whipped cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to avoid burning. Macerate peaches to soften and draw out juices. If topping is dry, add a teaspoon more bourbon or melted butter. Prepare crumble topping a day ahead for convenience. For gluten-free, use almond flour and certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free whipped cream, substitute coconut cream.
