Best Stovetop Apple Pie Filling
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs (1300 g) apples
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (20 g) cornstarch
- 1 and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients. In a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced apples, white sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Stir gently to combine, making sure the apples do not break.
- Cook the filling. Cover the mixture with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the apples are fork-tender. Check on the apples every 3-5 minutes and stir, making sure they’re not sticking to the pan. If you notice that the apples are sticking, add in 1 tbsp water and stir. If needed, add more water but try not to use too much or the filling won’t thicken up correctly.
- Add the vanilla extract. Once the apples are fork-tender, turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the apples to cool down a bit before using them as filling or serve warm if enjoying as a dessert or topping.
