It’s Labor Day weekend and already I’m reminded that Summer is almost over and Fall is on its way. If you live in Los Angeles, as I do, you would never be able to tell. Despite the heat, next week marks the start of so many wonderful Fall things; harvest decor is out in the stores and Pumpkin Spice Lattes come back to Starbucks.
But before we move on to Fall’s cool weather and the rich soups and roasts, I wanted to celebrate a wonderful summer full of fun and sunshine and what better way to do that with than a peach crumble. This crumble isn’t your average summertime crumble or crisp or cobbler – this one has brown butter and bourbon. A fitting end to a wonderful season!
Begin by browning the butter. Add it to the oat, flour and sugar mixture until combined.
Add the bourbon, cornstarch (I mixed mine together) and vanilla to the peaches. Stir to coat.
Crumble the brown butter mixture on top of the peaches.
Hot out of the oven.
I couldn’t resist.
The scent of peaches and the golden crumble in the oven filled the whole house. Perfection!
much love!
