Peach Pie Filling

Yield

Enough to fill the inside of a three-layer 8”-round cake.

Ingredients

• 5 cups (750 g) peeled and chopped peaches (about 4–5 large peaches, peeling is optional)
• 1/3 cup (75g) packed light brown sugar
• Juice from 1/2 a lemon
• 2 tbsp cornstarch

Steps

1. Cook peaches, sugar, and lemon juice on medium-low heat until peaches soften and begin to release their juices, about 8-10 minutes.
2. While peaches are cooking, spoon out a few tablespoons of peach juice at a time and mix with the cornstarch, off-heat, to create a slurry.
3. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the peaches and cook another minute, until thick.
4. Let cool. Mixture will thicken as it cools.
