Fall is officially the start of bourbon season and what's better than pairing it with a bourbon dessert, like my Bourbon Apple Crisp, using Rabbit Hole Cavehill Bourbon. It's honestly so delicious and bourbon and apple are such a perfect combination.
The best thing is, it's so quick and easy to make. Serve it warmed with ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect fall evening dessert.

Ingredients you'll need:
- Apples
- Bourbon, I like to use Rabbit Hole Cavehill
- 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 9x9 baking dish or mini cocotte's.
Slice apples and add to a large bowl with bourbon, vanilla, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour apple mixture into your baking dish cocottes.
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 apple.
Bake for 30-40 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.
