Instructions

Cube the peaches, peeling them if they're fresh. If using frozen peaches, thaw them first.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Heat the mixture until the peach juice separates and it reaches a simmer.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Use a potato masher to lightly mash about 20% of the peaches for texture.
Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat. Allow to cool completely before using.

Notes

Ensure peaches are ripe for the best flavor.
This filling works well for pies, tarts or as a topping for desserts like ice cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
