Description

This Apple Pie Filling recipe offers a sweet, cinnamon-spiced mixture cooked to tender perfection. Made with a blend of both brown and white sugar, salted butter, and a touch of flour for thickening, it’s excellent not only as a classic pie filling but also delicious enough to enjoy on its own as a warm fruit dessert.

Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling Ingredients

  • 5-6 Large Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 1/2 Stick Salted Butter (about 4 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice 5 to 6 large apples evenly to ensure uniform cooking and tenderness.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 stick of salted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied and hot.
  3. Coat Apples: Add the sliced apples to the melted butter and stir well to completely coat them, which provides flavor and helps prevent sticking.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon flour until uniformly combined.
  5. Add Sugar Mixture: Pour the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the coated apples and stir thoroughly so the apples are evenly covered with the sweet spice mixture.
  6. Cook Until Tender: Reduce heat to low and cook the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the filling thickens slightly, about the texture suitable for pie filling.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance sweetness and retain some texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker filling, cook an additional 5 minutes or add slightly more flour, but be cautious to avoid lumping.
  • This filling can be used immediately in pies or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother texture, mash some of the cooked apple slices after cooking.
  • Optional additions include a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavor or a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
