How To Make Apple Pie Filling

step 1

This easy apple pie filling recipe is as easy as boiling water, mostly because that’s exactly what you’re doing to make homemade apple pie filling.

step 2

First, whisk together water, sugar, cornstarch, spices, and lemon juice then bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens (thanks to the cornstarch).

Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the apples and vanilla.

step 4

Cool the filling to room temperature before using as desired.
