Ingredients
4 cups peaches, sliced

2 tablespoons cornstarch
0.5 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches and light brown sugar.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the fruit begins to release its juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with a splash of water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the pan.
Continue to cook and stir consistently for about 5 to 8 minutes until the liquid thickens and becomes glossy.
Remove from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly before using in your pie crust or as a topping.
Notes
Ensure you stir constantly once the cornstarch is added to prevent lumps and scorching. This filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For freezing, cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
