Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for peaches)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for peaches)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 6 medium peaches (roughly 3 pounds). Toss them gently with 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon flour. Let sit while making the crumble.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the pecan oat crumble on top, covering the fruit completely.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Peach peeling is optional but recommended for smooth texture; blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then ice bath to loosen skins. Toast pecans before chopping for extra flavor. Watch butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. For extra crunchy topping, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Substitute almond flour and gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Use vegan butter and vanilla extract instead of bourbon for dairy-free and alcohol-free version. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained, reduce flour slightly.
