How to Make Homemade Apple Pie Filling

  1. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala) into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple slices with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add 1/4 cup apple juice or water to the saucepan.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on toast, in crepes, or as a classic pie filling!
