Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (peeled, cored, and sliced) apples
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 cups water
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform, thin slices to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the saucepan while whisking to ensure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Pour the thickened mixture over the apple slices in the bowl, mixing gently to coat all the slices evenly.
Divide the apple pie filling into freezer-safe, resealable bags or airtight containers, ensuring you leave some space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Label the bags or containers with the date and contents, then lay them flat in the freezer for easier storage.
When ready to use, thaw the filling in the refrigerator overnight and use it in your favorite pie crust or dessert recipe.
