Ingredients

• 6 fresh peaches
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup bourbon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and slicing the peaches. Halve them, remove the pits, and slice each half into 4-5 thick wedges. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and smooth.

Step 3

Carefully add the sliced peaches to the skillet. Stir to coat the peaches in the sugar and spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Step 4

Cook the peaches for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and release some of their juices.

Step 5

Lower the heat and carefully pour the bourbon into the skillet. Use caution, as the bourbon may cause the mixture to bubble vigorously. Stir gently to incorporate.

Step 6

Cook the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Serve the bourbon peaches warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or pound cake. They can also be enjoyed as a standalone dessert!
