Y’all, let me tell you about a recipe that’s been passed down in my family for generations – our melt-in-your-mouth Southern Peach Cobbler with Bourbon Caramel Sauce. This isn’t your ordinary cobbler, honey! This is the kind that’ll make your guests think you’ve been cooking all day (but between us, it’s surprisingly simple 😉).
First things first, grab these ingredients from your pantry:
– 6 ripe peaches, sliced (frozen works too, I won’t judge!)
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup self-rising flour
– 1 cup milk
– 1 stick of butter (unsalted)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– A splash of bourbon (optional, but trust your girl on this one!)
For the heavenly bourbon caramel sauce:
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons bourbon
– Pinch of salt
Now, honey, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of Southern comfort food that’ll make your mama proud!
Let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat that oven to 375°F. While it’s heating up, melt your butter in a 9×13 baking dish right in the oven.
1. Mix your peaches with 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Let them get acquainted for about 10 minutes – they need time to release their sweet juices!
1. In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour this mixture over the melted butter – DO NOT STIR! I know it’s tempting, but resist, sugar!
1. Spoon those juicy peaches over the top. Again, don’t stir! The magic happens when everything bakes together untouched.
1. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell like heaven!
For the caramel sauce:
1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat
2. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes)
3. Try not to eat it all before the cobbler’s done!
Y’all, this dessert is pure Southern comfort on a plate. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream and that bourbon caramel sauce drizzled on top. Lord have mercy, it’s good!
