Is there anything better than peach season?! I absolutely love stone fruits, it's my favourite season, and there's seriously nothing better than this Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Crisp. It's honestly so delicious and bourbon and peach are such a perfect pairing.

The best thing is, it's so quick and easy to make. Serve it warmed with ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect summer night dessert.

Ingredients you'll need:

Peaches, fresh
Bourbon
Vanilla extract
Cornstarch
Brown sugar
Salt
Unsalted butter
All purpose flour
Cinnamon
Rolled oats

Equipment:

Large bowl
Medium bowl
Spatula
13x9 Baking dish
Small pot
Whisk

Instructions:

Slice the butter into pieces and place in a light-colored skillet. (Light colored helps you determine when the butter begins browning.) Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring occasionally. After 5-8 minutes, the butter will begin browning – you’ll notice lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and it will have a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and pour into a tupperware or a baking pan. Cover tightly, place in the refrigerator or freezer, and chill until solid. I always place mine in the freezer. It only takes about 45 minutes this way.

As the butter chills, whisk the remaining streusel ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish.

Slice peaches and add to a large bowl with bourbon, vanilla, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour peach mixture into your baking tin or pie plate.

Scrape butter out of the tupperware or pan and add to the streusel. Use a pastry cutter or a fork to break the butter up into smaller pieces. Combine it with the streusel until the mixture becomes crumbly and all the butter is incorporated. Sprinkle streusel evenly over fruit.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
