Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 pint high-quality vanilla bean ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with bourbon, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peaches, covering completely.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  7. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling.
  8. Serve warm with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for a flaky topping. If peaches are extra juicy, add up to 1 tablespoon more cornstarch. Avoid overmixing the topping to maintain crumbly texture. Let the crisp rest before serving to thicken the filling. For a gluten-free version, use almond flour. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
