Ingredients
- 8 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prep the apples: Peel, core and slice your apples. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples to prevent oxidation.
- Cook the apples with cinnamon butter: Add the butter and cinnamon to a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the apples, brown sugar, water, and salt; stir well. Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes or until the apples have started to soften.
- Thicken the filling: In a small bowl combine the cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water. Add to the skillet and stir. Continue to cook until the apples are soft but not mushy and the liquid has thickened, about 1 minute. Cool completely.
- Store: Store into jars or freeze in plastic bags. I was able to fill 4 12 oz jars.

Notes
- You can cut your apples to the thickness you like, just make sure they're all cut the same size, so they cook evenly.
- Don't shy away from cinnamon or even other spices. A little bit of fresh nutmeg can elevate the flavor of this filling.
- If you don't like using cornstarch, feel free to omit it, i just like a thicker filling, but don't worry, even without the cornstarch the mixture will thicken more as it cools.
- Store in glass jars or airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Your Apple Pie Filling is good to be stored in the freezer for 3-4 months at a time so you can even make a double batch since you know you can benefit from it whenever you wish.
