Serves 10

• 2 cups ripe peaches, sliced

• 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)

• ¼ cup butter

• ½ cup packed brown sugar

• ½ cup butter, softened

• ¾ cup sugar

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1-¼ cups all-purpose flour

• 1-¼ teaspoons baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup 2%milk

• Preheat oven to 350 F. If desired, combine peaches and bourbon. Let stand 10 minutes.

• Meanwhile, place 1/4 cup butter in a 10" cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet; heat in oven until butter is melted, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange peach slices over brown sugar.

• For the batter, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating after each addition just until combined. Spread batter evenly over peaches.

• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
