✅ Ingredients

For the peach filling

• 1/2 stick butter
• 1 can (28 oz) peaches, undrained
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup Crown Royal Peach whiskey

For the slurry

• 3/4 cup cold water
• 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch

For the batter

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• Enough milk to make a thin batter

For the cinnamon sugar topping

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish or casserole dish and put it in the oven to melt while you prepare everything else. Keep a close eye on it so it does not burn.

2. Make the peach filling
In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the undrained peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the Crown Royal
Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully stir in the Crown Royal Peach whiskey. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together beautifully.

4. Thicken the sauce
In a small bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch together until smooth to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering peach mixture and stir well. Return to a boil until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

5. Make the batter
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and self-rising flour. Gradually pour in enough milk, whisking as you go, until a smooth, thin batter forms.

6. Assemble the cobbler
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven with the melted butter. Pour the hot peach filling directly into the dish with the melted butter. Then gently pour the batter mixture on top of the peaches. Do not stir.

7. Add the topping
In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this evenly over the top of the batter.

8. Bake
Bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

9. Serve
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls and serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream!

💡 Tips

• White Lily self-rising flour gives the lightest, most tender batter.
• Do not stir after pouring the batter over the peaches as the magic happens when they naturally swap during baking.
• Fresh or frozen peaches can be substituted for canned, but you may need to adjust the sugar.
• For an alcohol-free version, simply replace the Crown Royal with peach nectar or extra peach juice.
