Ingredients

  • 8 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoon bourbon or water

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • teaspoon salt

  • 1 8.5 ounce pkg. corn muffin mix

  • 1 egg

  • cup milk

  • 2 tablespoon honey

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet* with deep sides combine the first six ingredients (through salt). Cook over medium heat until the peaches release juices, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
