What A Load Of Cobblers!

Up the Apples and Pears Crisp/Crumble and Bourbon Peach Cobbler.  Ok, the first one isn't really a cobbler, but it fits the theme well enough.  It's no lie!

The crisp is named for the cockney rhyming slang "apples and pears" which means stairs.

 

My crisp has not only apples and pears, it also has Applejack to help warm it up even more.

From the website:

Cornelius Applejack

CORNELIUS APPLEJACK

40% alc
Sizes: 750ml, 375ml, 50ml

Made from 100% home-grown apples. We carefully distill our fermented hard cider twice in small batches, resulting in a sweet distinctive spirit, both smooth and warming. Aged for 2 years in 50 gallon ex-bourbon casks, then finished in 15 gallons quarter casks, for additional color and barrel flavor.

More like a bourbon whiskey than a brandy, Cornelius Applejack is a fantastic gluten free alternative rye and bourbon. No charcoal filtration, no sugar and no additives. 100% apples.

The next recipe has another warming quality from the bourbon added to it.

 From their website:
                                                Hudson Baby Bourbon 

Once our local farmers harvest and dry the corn grown for our Baby Bourbon, we grind it, add water and cook the mash for fermenting – creating a round flavor and balanced palate. Baby Bourbon is left to mature in our signature small charred new American oak barrels, giving it a uniquely rich amber color. Small barrels mean more wood contact, which accounts for its rich, oaky, smoky flavor profile. We never charcoal or chill filter our bourbon, giving you a full-flavor experience. You’ll also recognize subtle notes of vanilla and caramel.

You know the drill preheat the oven to 350 deg. f and have a 9 x 13 baking pan ready.

2 cans peaches, drained, set the syrup from one can aside.

1/4 c. bourbon
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. allspice


Place a stick of butter in the 9 x 13 and place in the oven until melted.  In the meantime, mix the spices with 1/2 sugar and set aside.  Mix the remaining sugar with the other dry ingredients.  Mix the milk with the 1 can worth of syrup and the bourbon.  Blend these mixtures together to form a batter. 

Place the peaches evenly in the pan and coat lightly with the butter.  Pour the batter over the peaches and sprinkle with the spiced sugar.  Bake for about 30 minutes until golden on top.  Pile with ice cream while cobbler is still hot!
