Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large fresh peaches
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash, peel, and pit the peaches. Slice them into quarters or smaller chunks for easier cooking.
Place the peach slices in the bottom of your crock pot.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice to the crock pot. Stir to coat the peaches evenly.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the peaches, then drizzle the vanilla extract on top.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and scatter them over the peaches.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours.
After 4 hours, use a potato masher or fork to gently smash the peaches inside the crock pot. Mash them to your desired texture (smooth or slightly chunky).
Stir well to combine the juices and flavors evenly. Taste and adjust with additional sugar if needed.
Serve warm as a topping for vanilla ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or as a side dish. Alternatively, let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
