Bourbon Peach Crisp

This is an easy and delicious dessert recipe that tickles the tastebuds with fresh peaches, fine bourbon, and Dixie Crystals sugar.

This is also my official entry in the Sweet and Southern Desserts Recipe Contest sponsored by Dixie Crystals. The rules are simple – make a dessert using at least one tablespoon of sugar. Dixie Crystals is one of the wonderful sponsors of the Blog Life University Conference, held in  Atlanta, GA from July 21-23 2016. I look forward to attending this year.
