Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into even wedges. Set them aside in a large bowl.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and starts to bubble lightly.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the sugar mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften but still hold their shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the apples and stir well. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a glossy sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Transfer the apple pie filling to a serving dish to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or pound cake, or use it as a filling for pies or turnovers.
