Instructions

Cube the peaches. If frozen, thaw them first. If fresh, peel the peaches first.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Heat the mixture until the peach juice separates and it comes to a simmer.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Lightly mash about 20% of the peaches using a potato masher. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat. Cool completely before using.

Notes

For a thicker filling, increase cornstarch by 1 tablespoon.
If desired, substitute half of the peaches with nectarines for a unique flavor.
This filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
