We have been making quite a few fall apple recipes to share with you this past few weeks. My Caramel Apple Pie Cookies have been so VERY popular on Facebook and Pinterest. I have to admit they were are favorite recipe we have made so far. Our Apple Pie Fries were a sure hit with the kids.

I usually purchase store bought apple pie filling for fall recipes. Sometimes convenience is needed. Since I plan to make quite a few more apple recipes, I figured it was time to make some Homemade Apple Pie Filling. It is so super simple and tastes so much better. I figured if I just made up a few batches, I can use them to make a couple more tasty desserts.

Making homemade pie filling is so super easy. Store bought pie filling is great when you are in a pinch. Homemade pie filling always has so much more flavor and smells awesome when it is cooking.

I bought a bunch of fresh apples this past week so with just a few ingredients from my pantry and a little bit of time, I had quite a bit of homemade apple filling (about 24 ounces).
