Peach Bourbon Pecan Cobbler

The Ultimate Peach Bourbon Pecan Cobbler: A Warm Southern Embrace

  • Author: David Andersson

Description

At its core, a Peach Bourbon Pecan Cobbler is a deep-dish fruit dessert topped with a thick, biscuit-like crust. Unlike a pie, which has a structured bottom crust, a cobbler is all about the interaction between the bubbling fruit juices and the doughy topping that “cobbles” together during the baking process.

Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 6–7 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
    (or 2 (29 oz) cans sliced peaches, drained)

  • ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp bourbon (optional but traditional)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 1½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • ½ cup milk or buttermilk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • Extra chopped pecans

  • Turbinado or brown sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar.

  2. Make the peach filling:
    In a large bowl, toss peaches with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, bourbon, vanilla, and pecans.
    Spread evenly in the baking dish.

  3. Make the cobbler topping:
    In another bowl, whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
    Cut in cold butter using fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
    Stir in milk and vanilla just until combined.

  4. Assemble:
    Spoon or drop the topping over the peaches (it doesn’t need to fully cover them).
    Sprinkle extra pecans and sugar on top if desired.

  5. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.

  6. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an extra-indulgent finish, serve this Peach Bourbon Pecan Cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream—the cool, creamy contrast pairs beautifully with the caramelized peaches and toasted pecans. Leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to revive the flavors.
