Apple Pie Filling Recipe


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 Granny Smith apples , peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice; set aside.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the water and cornstarch until combined with no visible lumps.

Add cornstarch/water mixture to a large saucepan along with both sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt.

Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Then bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until just thickened.

Add in the apples and stir to coat; bring back up to a boil and then reduce heat to medium/gentle simmer; cook until the apples are soft and tender, about 10-13 minutes (this will depend on how thick/thin you sliced your apples.)

Remove from heat and allow the apple filling to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Transfer to a jar and cool completely (it will set up and thicken as it cools.) Tightly seal with the lid.

You can use the filling now or store for later.
 


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
14.1 ounce refrigerated package pie crust (2 crusts) or double my homemade pie crust recipe!
21 ounces apple pie filling
1 large egg
water
3 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Remove pie crusts from packaging and allow to come to room temperature, per package instructions. Cut the pie crusts into 5-inch circles using a cookie cutter.

Place two slices of apples from the apple pie filling onto the pie crusts on the bottom half of the crust. With a little water on the tip of your finger, moisten the outside edges of the pie crust. Fold dough over filling to form half-moons; pinch the edges of the crust together, then crimp edges with a fork to seal.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a splash of water. Brush the pies with the egg wash all over the tops. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the coarse sugar over each pie. Make three slits in the crust on the top of the pies.

Preheat the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 pies in the basket at a time and air fry for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining pies.
