Alright, folks! Let���s get to the main event and whip together this finger-licking, lip-smacking Apple Pie Filling.

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 8 cups of thinly sliced and peeled apples
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

You’ll also need a large pot and a pie dish.

The cinnamon provides a lovely warm spice flavor that pairs well with apples, while the sugar gives the right amount of sweetness to our filling. The all-purpose flour helps in thickening the filling. Keep in mind we���re going for a filling that���s just right – not runny and not too thick. If you prefer less sweetness, feel free to reduce the amount of sugar. Also, you can substitute apple juice for lemon, if you desire a tangier flavor.

How To Make Apple Pie Filling

1. Start with peeling, coring, and thinly slicing your apples. Then place them in a large pot.
2. Add the remainder of the ingredients to the pot and mix until the apples are coated.
3. Allow the apples to simmer in the pot over low heat for about 15 minutes, while continuously stirring to prevent the apples from sticking or burning.
4. Let the filling cool before adding to your pie dish. There it is! Your Apple Pie Filling is ready for a pie crust.

Tips For The Best Results

• Choose the right apple variety. Though you can use any apple, Granny Smith apples and Honeycrisp are my personal favorites.
• Do not overcook the apples. We want softened apples, not an applesauce.

Storage Tips

• For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
