Increase to 5 GAL?



Hi, I am new to brewing and this is my first batch of cider I am trying.

I have started a 6-gallon batch of peach cider from the overflowing amount of fruit I picked from my tree. (Barely put a dent in my tree)

I used about 15-20 lbs of cut up peaches currently in a nylon bag in a 6.5 gal primary bucket.

My question is when I remove the fruit I will have less than the 6 gallons of liquid I will need to completely fill the 6.5 gallon carboy.

What should I use to increase the liquid level to get to the 6 gal? If I just add water would I be diluting the specific gravity too much or would I add sugar to the batch and get a specific gravity of the 1.045-1.05 like I started with?
Thanks
Gabriel
