Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) frozen peaches, thawed, juice reserved
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) maple rye whisky
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tbsp (22 ml) chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) 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 tbsp of maple rye whisky, 2 tbsp of maple syrup, 1 1/2 tbsp of chopped rosemary, and 1 tsp 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 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp 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.
