Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups frozen peaches, thawed, juice reserved
- 4 tablespoons maple rye whisky
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup reserved peach juice
- Dash of maple rye whisky (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a baking pan, combine the thawed peaches, 4 tablespoons of maple rye whisky, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Toss well to coat the peaches evenly.
- Let the fruit marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the fruit is marinating, prepare the buckle topping. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup of softened butter and 1/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of gluten-free flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/4 cup of reserved peach juice. Mix until just combined. If desired, add a dash of maple rye whisky to the batter for extra flavor.
- Spread the marinated peaches evenly in the baking pan. Pour the batter over the peaches, spreading it gently to cover the fruit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the buckle to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a dollop of lightly whipped fresh cream, if desired.
Notes
For best results, use ripe peaches if available. The dessert can be served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The buckle can be reheated in the oven before serving. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the whisky with additional peach juice.
