Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. I love the way the ingredients meld together, creating a lovely syrup that seeps into the peaches. Once everything is mixed well, set this bowl aside to let the flavors develop. This is the perfect time to gather your baking dish and prepare for the crust. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
