Canned sliced peaches flavored with lemon juice and a hint of cinnamon in a slightly thickened sauce, topped with prepared pie pastry. Serve it warm with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping.
Recipe Ingredients:
3 (15-ounce each) cans canned sliced peaches in light syrup, drained*
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Equal® Spoonful**
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pastry for single crust 9-inch pie
1 tablespoon Equal® Spoonful***
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking Directions:
- Place peaches in medium saucepan. Toss with cornstarch, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup Equal® and vanilla until dissolved. Spoon hot peach mixture into 8-inch square baking pan.
- Meanwhile, roll pie pastry on floured surface to form a 9-inch square. Place pastry over hot peach mixture. Trim and flute edge. Cut a few slits in top to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle top of pastry with combined 1 tablespoon Equal® and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Bake in preheated 400°F (205°C) oven 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is crisp and lightly golden in color. Serve warm or at room temperature.
