Instructions

Cube the peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw them first. If using fresh peaches, peel them before cubing.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well.
Heat the mixture until the peach juice is released and begins to simmer.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens. Use a potato masher to lightly mash about 20% of the peaches. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat. Let it cool completely before using.

Notes

This filling can be used for pies, tarts, or as a topping for ice cream or pancakes.
For a more intense flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
