Description
This easy peach pie filling is made from fresh peaches, a blend of sugars, lemon juice, and a touch of cinnamon. Perfect for pies, cobblers, or as a topping for ice cream and pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (or preferred thickener)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prep the Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches. For easy peeling, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to an ice bath.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using).
- Cook the Filling: Heat over medium heat until the peaches begin to release their juices. Stir in cornstarch and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Add Butter: Stir in the butter until fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Cool & Store: Let the filling cool completely before using in a pie shell or storing in the fridge or freezer for later use.
Notes
For a smoother texture, slice peaches thinly. You can freeze the cooled filling in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
