Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Fresh peaches
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Butter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the peaches: To easily peel the peaches, score a small 'X' at the bottom of each peach. Boil a pot of water, and submerge the peaches for 30 seconds. Transfer to an ice bath and gently peel off the skins.

Step 2

Dice the peeled peaches into small chunks and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the diced peaches and ground cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are softened and the mixture is thickened.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter (if using) for added richness.

Step 7

Allow the peach topping to cool slightly before serving warm over your favorite dishes, or let it cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
