I love spring so many things to love about spring but one of my favorite reasons is the over abundance of delicious fruit. From strawberries to cantaloupes to pineapples. Today I am using delicious apples to make this very easy Apple Pie Filling.
About 10 years ago I live in the northwest part of Arizona and had an apple tree in my yard. Plus everyone kept giving me apples. I made apple sauce, apple butter and quarts and quarts of this easy apple pie filling. I even canned it. I loved looking at it on my pantry shelves it made me feel so productive and self sufficient. Well today while I was making this apple pie filling I felt like I did when I canned oodles of this filling.
You can use just about any kind of apple but I was sent some of the most delicious apples for Brunch Week which starts next week. Since you need the filling first it just seemed perfect to do this filling recipe first. This recipe will make enough filling for one 9″ pie.
You can easily multiply this recipe and can it in quart jars. One quart jar will fill one pie.

I absolutely Love this Recipe. This is the second time I’ve used it and just love the result. My family loves it as well.
I just made filling yummy so delicious. Must make
I’ve never pre-cooked my apples before I’ve always put it all together in the crust so after I’ve cooked the apples and called them do I pre-cook the crust before I put the apple mixture in it or do I put it all together and cook the apples in the crust?
