Ingredients
- 2 15-oz cans sliced peaches in juice or light syrup (drained, reserve juice separately — you’ll only use enough to total ½ cup after tossing peaches)
- 2 –3 tbsp bourbon optional
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 stick ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ –1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 tbsp melted butter for pecans
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar for pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour melted butter into a 9x13 baking dish — no need to grease.
- Toss drained peaches with bourbon, ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Let sit 5–10 minutes to release some of their own juices.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
- Pour batter over the melted butter — do not stir.
- Spoon peach mixture over batter.
- Whatever juices are left at the bottom of the bowl after spooning the peaches, add enough of the reserved peach liquid from the cans to make the total ½ cup.
- Drizzle the combined juices over the peaches.
- Toss pecans with 1 tbsp melted butter + 1 tbsp brown sugar; sprinkle on top.
- Bake 40–50 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Cool slightly; serve warm with ice cream.
