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 lightly floured surface to form a 9-inch square. Place over hot peach mixture. Trim and flute edges. Cut a few slits in top to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with combined 1 tablespoon Equal and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Bake in preheated 400 degree F oven 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is crisp and lightly golden in color. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
