Bourbon Pecan Peach Crisp

Ashley Manila
Bourbon Pecan Peach Crisp is the ultimate summer dessert! Made with brown sugar, fresh peaches, rolled oats, and bourbon, this easy peach crisp recipe is summer in a skillet. Peak season ripe peaches are best but frozen peaches will work. And serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).

  • Sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss well to combine. Set aside while you make the crisp topping.

  • Cut butter into cubes and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, pecans, both sugars, cinnamon, cardamom, and flour.
  • Add in the cubed butter and, using two forks or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles a coarse meal. 
  • Sprinkle topping evenly over peaches. Place pan in the oven.
