Ingredients
  

Peaches

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced about 6-7 medium peaches, or 1.5 kg
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Wash, peel (if desired), and slice the peaches into thin wedges.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
  • Gently fold in the sliced peaches and lemon juice into the dry mixture until evenly coated.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the peach mixture. Stir frequently and cook for 10-15 minutes until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter until melted and combined.
  • Allow the filling to cool completely before using it in pie or storing it in the fridge.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. This filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
