Apple Pie Filling

Of all the pies out there, Apple Pie is one of my absolute favorites, topped only by pumpkin pie. I prefer Granny Smith apple for this recipe, but you can substitute other apples if you're looking for a sweeter flavor. You can prepare this filling ahead of time and freeze it for up to a month as long as it is in an air-tight container. Use this to top ice cream, waffles, fill pie shells, or make hand pies.

Ingredients

• 4 Granny Smith Apples

• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar

• 2 Tbsp. Butter

• 1 tsp. Cinnamon

• 5 Tbsp. Water, divided

• 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch

Preparation

Peel the apples.

You can either cut the apple into 1/4-inch slices or into 1/2-inch cubes.

Mix together cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. water.

Let's Get Cooking

Melt butter and cinnamon over medium heat.

Stir in apples, sugar, and the remaining 3 Tbsp. of water.

Cover and cook 4-5 minutes.

Slowly add the cornstarch/water mix.

Cook another 1-2 minutes, the apples should be tender but not mushy.
