This is SO easy, SO tasty, and SO versatile to use afterwards.  One of our favorite things to do is put it into crepes, but it's even tasty just as a side with vanilla ice cream.   You can, of course, use it as a proper pie filling with buttermilk pastry crust - just put it in your pan and put a layer of pastry on the top. Bake until golden brown. Delicious!  And no soggy bottom of pastry to be concerned about.  

This is definitely one of those dishes that makes your house smell delicious!

Used as a pie filling in individual apple pies. Using the crust and general guidelines from my Pop-tart recipe worked perfectly! Just add a little extra baking time to make sure they get nice and golden. 

We LOVE this inside homemade crepes!  I think that's one of our favorite ways to eat apple pie filling besides topped with buttermilk pastry crust.  

Apple Pie Filling!

In a large saucepan, cook over medium-low to medium heat, stirring regularly for about 20-25 minutes, until apples nicely soften: 

8 apples, peeled and dice (Honeycrisp apples, or similar, are one my favorite types for this sort of recipe - make sure they are apples that will hold their shape while cooking)

2/3 cup brown sugar (or regular sugar, if you don't want as caramel-y a flavor)

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup butter

1 tsp cinnamon OR 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp allspice

Once your apples are softened, mix together in a small bowl: 

2 Tbsp cornstarch

2 Tbsp cold water

Add the cornstarch mixture, stirring and cooking for 1-2 minutes to thicken.  Remove from heat and use as desired!   

Apple pie filling in homemade crepes. Yum!
