The Best Apple Pie Filling Recipe
I love everything about the versatility of apple desserts, so it was a no brainer when it came to crafting the perfect Apple Pie Filling for all my cravings. This decadent recipe combines the best of all: butter, cinnamon and apples. It always takes me back to those cold weekends in my childhood when my mom used to bake apple pies, making the whole house smell absolutely divine. Having it accessible in the freezer is the best thing about it. Basically everything is ready to go whenever that sweet craving hits you on a chilly gloomy afternoon. Or even in the summer time! With only 8 easy and accessible ingredients (that you most likely have lying around your pantry right now) there’s nothing standing in your way of making this tasty filling anytime. And have I told you about the 10 minute cooking time? Yeah, it’s THAT EASY!
Ingredient Notes
Apples – Best apples to use for apple pie filling are Granny Smith Apples, Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious. Lemon – I personally prefer lemons that have a thinner peel just so they’re juicier and about half of a medium sized lemon will give you enough juice needed for this. It will prevent the apples from oxidizing and gives the dish a nice tart flavor as well. Butter – Melted unsalted butter will create that soft creamy texture in the filling, thus giving the dish even more flavor. Cinnamon – Yes, I know some of you are not big fans of cinnamon and you can definitely make this kind of filling without it, but please trust me on this beautiful powder blends all the ingredients together so well, you won’t want to miss that final touch. Brown sugar – I love to use brown sugar for the filling to give it that darker tone as well as a delicious caramelized flavor.
