Preparation

Step 1

This recipe makes 1 can of apple pie filling and takes just about 10 minutes.  It’s much better than the store bought and quick and easy!  Choose a variety of apples that holds up well to cooking such as Granny Smith! We love this on it’s own or served over ice cream but

This easy recipe replaces 1 can of store bought apple pie filling!

Melt butter and cinnamon over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar & 3 tablespoons water.

Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until very slightly softened.

In a small dish combine cornstarch and water. Add to pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are soft (not mushy) and filling is thickened. Let bubble 1 minute. Cool.

Some apples are juicier than others. If you would like your filling thicker, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Add a little at a time while the mixture is boiling until you reach desired consistency.
