- Whisk together 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Stir into the pan with the apple mixture until thickened. If a thinner consistency is desired, stir in more water until the filling reaches your desired consistency. Allow the pie filling to cook and bubble for 1 minute. The apples should be soft and the filling thickened.
