Apple Pie Filling (canned version)
This is just like the canned stuff, only better.
Ingredients
Apples
- 4 cups Peeled, cored, diced apples (1/2" or 1 cm cubes)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
Sauce
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup apple juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- I like to toss the apple pieces in the lemon juice as I'm cutting the apples, just to prevent them turning brown.
- Mix the "apples" ingredients int a pot on medium-high heat, and gently stir for 15-20 minutes. The total cooking time will vary greatly depending how firm the apples are, and how soft you want the finished product.
- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, bring 1 cup of apple juice to a boil.
- Add the cinnamon and cornstarch, and whisk fully until incorporated.
- Add this mixture to the cooking apples 5 minutes into the cooking process.
- Gently stir, and let simmer until desired firmness is reached.
Notes
Oobleck - google it sometime.
It's always best to make a slurry of liquid + cornstarch before adding it to anything just to prevent clumps
