Ingredients

¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp cornstarch
Pinch of salt

2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt.
3. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out juices.
4. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
5. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
6. For a softer filling, simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
. Let the filling cool to room temperature before using or storing.
Notes
Substitute honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener alternative.
If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well before cooking.
Try adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor depth.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
