Ingredients

  • 4 medium apples
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, core, and chop or slice apples*.
  2. Melt butter and cinnamon over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar & water.
  3. Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until very slightly softened.
  4. In a small dish combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Add to the pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are soft (not mushy) and filling is thickened.
  5. Let bubble 1 minute. Cool.

Notes

  • Cut apples into 1/2-inch cubes or 1/4-inch slices.
  • Different varieties of apples may need less (or more) cooking time. Cook just until tender crisp checking the apples with a fork. 
  • 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.
