Instructions
- Peel the apples. Core and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a Dutch oven, large soup pot or braiser, or similar sturdy-wide pot.
- To the pot, add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and flour. Toss to evenly coat the apples.
- Heat the pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring periodically, until the apples just begin to give up their juices, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Let cool completely to room temperature. To freeze, spoon the apples and any juices that have collected in the pot into a sturdy, ziptop freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze flat for up to 3 months. To use, let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, until the filling loose enough to spread evenly into the pie crust (do not thaw completely).
Notes
- TO STORE: Apple pie filling will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- TO FREEZE: Transfer the apples and their juices to a sturdy zip-top freezer bag. Press out any air, then seal and freeze flat for up to 3 months.
- *For tart, use a variety such as Granny smith; for sweet/crisp, I love Honeycrisp; varieties like Jazz, Braeburn, Fuji, Gala and Pink Lady are good too.
- YIELD: About 8 cups filling, Enough for one 9-inch pie (deep dish or regular)
- TO STORE: Apple pie filling will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
