This recipe makes a consistently thick and flavorful peach pie filling, perfect for baking into a delicious pie or using in other desserts. It ensures your pie won’t be watery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 8-10 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to peach sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the peaches are evenly coated.
  2. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the peach mixture and toss again to combine.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into your unbaked pie crust.
  4. Dot the top of the peach filling with the small pieces of butter.
  5. Bake according to your pie recipe instructions (typically 45-60 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly).
  6. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm peaches.
  • If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using.
  • Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches. Taste a small piece before adding all the sugar.
  • This filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
