Peach Crisp with Bourbon and Vanilla is not your everyday Peach Crisp.

I love peaches, and I make these Grilled Peaches with Honey-Lemon Drizzle every summer. Peach Crisp or Peach Crumble is a dessert that everyone seems to love . . . and this one with a touch of bourbon always gets rave reviews!

It's worth making, not only because it's delicious, but for the way it will make your kitchen smell. Warm, vanilla-scented peaches spiked with a hint of Bourbon make this a dessert to write home about.

Here's what you'll need to make gluten-free peach crumble.

🛒Ingredients

For the filling:

• peaches:  fresh, about 6 cups
• cornstarch: or tapioca starch to thicken the fruit mixture
• honey: or maple syrup or 0-calorie Monkfruit sweetener
• Bourbon: just 3 tablespoons
• vanilla extract:  pure
• lemon juice:  adds flavour and stops the peaches from turning brown

For the crumble topping:

• rolled oats:  use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.
• oat flour: grind rolled oats in your blender to make oat flour. You can also substitute almond flour for the oat flour if you'd like.
• coconut sugar: or brown sugar or 0-calorie Monkfruit sweetener
• melted butter
• salt:  just a pinch, but don't leave it out!
• optional: sliced almonds or chopped pecans

🔪Instructions

Here's a quick overview of what you'll do. You'll find complete directions in the recipe card below.

• Peel peaches, remove the stone and slice. If the peaches have thin skins, there's no need to peel them.
• In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with tapioca starch or cornstarch, sweetener, Bourbon, vanilla and lemon juice.
• Combine the crumble topping ingredients in an other bowl.
• Fill a glass pie plate with the peach mixture, then add the topping to cover the peaches.
• Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.
• Cool slightly and serve warm, plain or with ice cream, whipped cream or coconut whip.

2. Add sliced almonds or chopped pecans or other nuts if you'd like, or leave them out!
3. Do try to serve it warm. It's heavenly.
4. Ice cream or whipped cream or whipped coconut cream on top is delicious, but not necessary. This Peach Crisp with Bourbon and Vanilla can stand alone!
