A Fall Favorite
Who doesn’t love a classic Apple Pie Recipe?! It’s definitely popular at our house, especially in the fall and for every holiday. With that in mind, we try to make apple pie filling ahead of time to use in all of our holiday baking. We use this versatile mixture in pies like Dutch Apple Pie or Apple Cake, or in a variety of other apple desserts. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, apple pie filling is timeless, delicious AND so much better homemade!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 30 minutes
6-8 high-quality baking apples (we prefer Gala and Granny Smith apples) – I think the best apples for pie are a mixture, you can also use fuji, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Cortland, Empire, Winesap, Jazz, Pink Lady, Jonagold or Melrose apples. ¾ cup granulated sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup unfiltered apple cider – the jugs sold in the fall are the best, but apple juice works as well. 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice – or fresh lemon juice, you can also add in a bit of lemon zest.
