Ingredients

  • a 3 pounds fresh or frozen peaches, peeled (if fresh) and sliced
  • a 1/2 cup apple butter
  • a 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • a 1/4 cup bourbon, optional
  • a 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • a 2 cups homemade baking mix (or use store-bought)
  • a 2/3 cup whole milk
  • a 1/2 cup sugar
  • a 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • a 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

  • 1. Place peaches in slow cooker and add apple butter, brown sugar, bourbon (if using) and salt.
  • 2. Stir together until peaches are evenly coated and then spread out into an even layer.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine baking mix, sugar and cinnamon, and stir together.
  • 4. Pour in milk and melted butter and mix until just incorporated.
  • 5. Drop large spoonfuls of batter onto peaches, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  • 6. Top slow cooker with a paper towel and cover with lid. (This makes sure moisture is absorbed, so crust topping can actually crisp up.)
  • 7. Turn on HIGH and cook for about 5 hours (or on LOW for 8), or until crust is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 8. Uncover and serve hot with whipped cream or ice cream.
