Apple Pie Filling Recipe

I could eat Apple Pie pretty much year round. It really doesn’t matter what season it is, Apple Pie is a seasonless favorite! One of my favorite things to do is to make several batches of Apple Pie Filling and then freeze them. This way when I need a quick dessert for any occasion all I have to do is simply pull my pre-made Apple Pie Filling out of the freezer put in a pie crust, bake and enjoy! It’s so quick, easy and convenient! Plus it saves us from spending extra money trying to rush to find a store bought dessert that likely won’t even be that good.

Ingredients

• 4 cup sliced, peeled Apples
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 3 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 cup warm Water

Directions

First place sliced apples in a medium sized bowl. Add water and lemon juice, toss to prevent browning.

In a saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and water until fully blended. Add cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg. Whisk until blended. Add contents of apple slice bowl to saucepan and cook over low heat until apples are tender.

At this point you can either pour contents into a pie crust or you can pour contents into a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for a later date. If you freeze content, remember that when it’s time to use the Apple Pie Filling you will want them to be fully unfrozen. You can unfreeze them by either placing the entire ziploc bag and contents in a bowl with warm water or let them sit out on the counter for a couple of hours before adding to your pie crust and baking.
