Apple Filling For Pies
After just making this again i think some may find the filling too thick so i am changing the instructions to say 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch. We like our apples diced so it takes 3-4 large apples to achieve 4 cups. I also used the micro.this time stirring every couple minutes. No chance of burning on the bottom that way.
Steps
Sprinkle lemon juice over apples in saucepan.
Mix next four ingredients together and add to apples.
Mix well.
Add very hot juice to pan , cook , stirring constantly until thickened.
Remove from heat and cool.
Fill a well chilled 9 inch pastry lined pan and cover with top crust.
Bake on lowest rack at 425 for 10 minutes , and finish baking on center rack until bubbling , about 20 minutes more.
Ingredients
apples, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon, apple juice
