I am still trying to use up all these apples from the other week so I decided to make some apple pie filling. I went ahead and used mine in a pie but I think I will make some more up and freeze it.
Apple Pie Filling
5 cups peeled,chopped apples
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
Instructions
Toss the apples with lemon juice and set aside.
Combine the sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in water. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil 2 minutes stirring constantly.
Add the apples and bring to a boil again.
Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely. It will set up as it cools. Makes 4 cups of apple pie filling.
Enjoy!
Sounds great. Might try adding a tbs. rum extract and stir to combine just before setting aside to cool. The rum flavor adds some extra flavor to apples, especially if using a mixture of different apples.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Dutchie here, about how many apples are 5 cups? I have a recipe for a crust, and it calls for about 6 apples in a 9 inch baking pan
ReplyDeleteJust curious to how the rum makes the pie taste? Is it a sweet or savory taste? I'm not a fan of alcohol so I'm hoping you can't actually taste the rum
ReplyDeleteI have made many of batches and put in freezer. So good any time of year
ReplyDeleteThis is the PERFECT recipe! It’s easy, each step is clear, and the taste is fabulous! This is a keeper!
