Ah, peach pie filling! This juicy peach pie filling comes together in about 30 minutes and is made with just a couple of simple steps! Perfect for a potluck dessert or a weeknight dinner treat, your family will love it! This recipe loves to adapt!

Ingredient Breakdown

To whip up this delightful peach pie filling, you’ll need the following ingredients:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that you have all your ingredients gathered, let’s jump into the cooking process!

Prep Your Peaches (5 minutes): Peel and slice those lovely fresh peaches. If you’re using frozen peaches, just let them thaw a bit, they’ll be ready to go in no time!
Combine Ingredients (10 minutes): Get out a big mixing bowl and gently toss together the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. You want to make sure everything is nicely coated! Let that fragrant mixture sit for about 15 minutes so the flavors can mingle and create delicious peach juice.
Cook the Filling (10 minutes): Now, grab a medium-sized saucepan, transfer the peach mixture, and place it over medium heat. Cook while stirring occasionally until it thickens and gets all syrupy, about 5 to 10 minutes. You really want it to be bubbling just a bit and ooey-gooey!
Use It Your Way: Now the fun part! This peach filling is your canvas. Use it for classic peach pie, as a topping for vanilla ice cream (hello, dessert!), or even dolloped over pancakes for a breakfast treat. You can’t go wrong!
