Description
Make a cheap, boozy peach cobbler with just 6 ingredients. This budget-friendly Labor Day dessert tastes expensive but costs pennies, using canned peaches, flour, sugar, butter, bourbon, and baking powder.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz canned peaches (packed in heavy syrup)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- Drain the canned peaches, reserving the syrup. Pour peaches into the prepared dish and top with the reserved syrup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter and bourbon.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Spoon the topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The alcohol in the bourbon mostly evaporates during baking, leaving behind flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with apple cider or water with vanilla extract. This cobbler can be made ahead and reheated. For extra caramelization, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the peach layer.
