Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 3 large ripe peaches Choose tender yet firm
  • 3 tablespoons Jack Daniel’s whiskey Can substitute with apple juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch Prevents crust from becoming soggy
For the Crust
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • cup sugar Consider reducing to ½ cup for less sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste Can substitute with vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Almond flour works as a gluten-free alternative
For the Glaze
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar For drizzling on top

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 8x8 Baking Pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium glass bowl, combine the Jack Daniel’s whiskey and cornstarch, stirring until well mixed. Add the sliced peaches, coating them gently and letting sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in the salt and vanilla paste, then gradually add all-purpose flour until dough resembles a crumbly texture.
  4. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Press ⅔ of the crust dough into the bottom, smoothing it out.
  5. Spoon the peach mixture over the pressed crust evenly.
  6. Bake for approximately 30-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Watch carefully towards the end.
  7. Cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and a splash of whiskey for the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bars.
