    Homemade Apple Pie Filling

    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).

      Can this recipe be canned in jars?
      Could I just seal the lids. Without putting in a waterbath?

      Looks great! Can’t wait to try it! One question…Do you add the lemon water that the apples were soaking in!

        I was wondering the same thing. One quarter cup doesn’t seem like enough, while cup sounds like too much. Just going to wing it… little at a time.

      I had to double my recipe and instead of putting a whole cup of granulated sugar I substituted 1/4 cup with 1/4 cup of brown sugar….it came out the sweetness I was looking for but still a bit savory as well. To me that’s the perfect apple pie. CAN’T WAIT to bake and then eat it.

      Wondering if you could use essential oils for the cinnamon and nutmeg? Wanting to incorporate them into my cooking more. Hmmmmm…

      I had no idea apple pie filling was so easy to make! I love apple pie, but I rarely make it because it seems so laborious. I could make this ahead, though, and the whole think would be much less daunting. Thanks for sharing!

      Is there a way to store this in the refrigerator? It looks easy to work with. How much did you get from your 4 cups of apples?
