Easy Bourbon Peach Crumble

Easy Bourbon Peach Crumble

I love crumble, but I don't eat them enough. When I do, it usually has apple, but peaches are for the win too! During the summer, peach crumbles offer a subtle tartness, sweetness and crunch many of us appreciate in a light dessert. Served warm with ice cream or whipped cream, the spiced, caramelized peaches paired with a crunchy, buttery crumble melt together to make a sinfully good combination.

Add in some bourbon to enhance everything, and you have a fail-safe people pleaser!

As most people know, this dessert a variation of or considered interchangeable peach cobbler. I say crumble because of the way I prepared the pastry, crumbling the cookie-like dough versus having thicker, large pieces on top. Essentially it is the same as the classic out of the American South. Depends on how serious you take all the nuances!

You can convert this into another simple, delicious dessert. Check out my no-churn Bourbon Peach Crumble Ice Cream which you will love, here.
