Best Homemade Apple Pie Filling Recipe 

Simmering soft apple pieces (or slices) in a straightforward cinnamon sauce produces the ideal balance of sweetness and tartness. They taste so much better than canned and can be prepared in a matter of minutes!

*Apples: peel, core, chop, or slice.

Heat up some butter and cinnamon till they melt. Add apples, water, and sugar; stir.

Cook, covered, stirring now and then, until very little softened, 4–6 minutes.

Mix two teaspoons water and corn flour together in a small plate. Add to the pan and heat, stirring, until the filling thickens and the apples

Are tender but not mushy.

Give the bubble a minute. Nice.

Notes

Apples can be cut into 1/4-inch slices or 1/2-inch cubes.

Apple varietals may require varying amounts of cooking time. Cook the apples until they are crisp and tender, using a fork to check.

Apples vary in their level of juiciness. Mix one tablespoon cornflour and one tablespoon water to make your filling thicker. While the mixture is boiling, add a bit at a time until the required consistency is reached.

How to Make Homemade Apple Pie Filling

As simple as apple pie, as the adage goes, and that is precisely this recipe!

Apples are peeled, sliced, and then placed to a pan along with some water, sugar, and cinnamon.

Thicken: I use a small amount of cornflour to make this apple pie filling thicker when it’s soft. The “saucy” portion is made up of any apple juice that has leaked.

Variations

Cut the apples into pieces or use apple slices.

To add a caramel flavour, substitute brown sugar for white sugar.

Pour in a tsp of lemon juice.

I use ground cinnamon, but you can use your favourite warm spice blend, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, or even a small amount of nutmeg.

How to Freeze Apple Pie Filling

This filling for apple pie tastes great and can be made ahead of time. We mostly use it to swap out cans of pie filling in recipes; I don’t precook the filling when I make an apple pie from scratch. Of course, you can freeze this filling if you decide to prepare it.

Just prepare as stated, then let cool. In a freezer bag, freeze. Before using, let it defrost in the refrigerator for a whole night and proceed as you would with fresh!
