About The Recipe

Last summer, my mom and I shared a revamped version of our classic Bourbon Peach Cobbler. So, this year, we knew we wanted to share something along those same lines. Though, we couldn’t really decide if we wanted to share a cobbler or a crisp…

So, we kinda combined both and created this peach cobbler crisp!

Though, it’s not really a true “crisp” as it doesn’t have oats or nuts. It’s really just a cinnamon streusel, but it does add the crunchy element (or…a crisp-y element 😉) in every bite!

We also really wanted to have brown sugar to be a consistent theme throughout this dessert. So, each element is actually sweetened with brown sugar.

We weren’t sure if it really was going to work, but the idea just sounded too good to pass up.

I mean, peaches, cinnamon, brown sugar…what could go wrong?!

Thankfully, absolutely nothing! This cobbler turned out so well on our first test bake that it was gone within the hour. Absolutely everyone loved it! The streusel just adds that extra bit of oomph to this cobbler, making it seriously addicting.

Each and every bite is juicy, full of sweet peaches, with just the right amount of crunch from the biscuit, as well as a gooey/crunchiness coming from the streusel.

I seriously can’t get enough!!

What’s The Difference Between a Crisp, Crumble, and Cobbler?

While all of these desserts are very similar, there are some differences! When it comes to crisps and crumbles they are, essentially, the same thing. Baked fruit with a crunchy topping. A crisp tends to have oats in the topping while a crumble does not.

Then, there’s cobbler! Yet another delicious baked fruit dessert, but totally in a league of its own. Instead of a crunchy topping comprising of butter, brown sugar, oats, etc. It typically has a biscuit-like topping or pie crust!

For this recipe, we chose to combine all of them and create a classic cobbler, but with the addition of a cinnamon streusel to make it even more delicious!

Ingredients

Full ingredient amounts and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

For The Streusel:

• Brown Sugar – While traditional streusel uses a mix of granulated sugar and brown sugar, we opted to use only brown sugar to add more of a depth of flavor to compliment the peaches better.
• All-Purpose Flour – Using flour in a streusel is essential, as it allows the streusel to hold it’s shape and keep from becoming like hard candy.
• Ground Cinnamon –  Gives this streusel a delicious flavor.
• Salted Butter – Remember to use room temperature butter for the streusel!

For The Filling:

• Sliced Peaches – For the best flavor, it’s best to use fresh peaches!
• Brown Sugar – Adds sweetness and flavor.
• Cornstarch – Keeps the filling from being too juicy.
• Ground Cinnamon – Just a dash of cinnamon compliments the flavor of the peaches!
• Salt – Cuts some of the sweetness and enhances the flavor of the peahes.
• Vanilla Extract – A splash of vanilla makes everything better.

For The Topping:

• All-Purpose Flour – Gives this biscuit the perfect structure and texture.
• Brown Sugar – Not only does brown sugar add sweetness, but it adds flavor and helps promote browning!
• Baking Powder – This is what gives the biscuit topping some rise and gives the topping an airy and delicious texture.
• Salted Butter – Creates flaky layers that make this topping irresistible!
• Heavy Cream – Using cream makes for a rich and delicious biscuit!
• Egg Yolk – Adds richness.
• Vanilla Extract – A splash of vanilla gives the topping a little bit of flavor.

Expert Tips

• Remember to wash, core, and peel your peaches.
• When making the filling, be careful to not smash/mush the peaches!
• Do not over mix the dough for the topping! It’s best to use a rubber spatula to fold/mix the cream into the dry ingredients.
• Baking times may very depending on how your oven bakes. Keep an eye on it!
• If you’re unsure if the cobbler is done, you can use an instant read thermometer. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the topping and, if it reads around 200 degrees Fahrenheit, the cobbler is done.
• Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. The longer it cools, the less juicy it will be when you cut into it.
