Why go for homemade apple pie filling?
When it comes to homemade recipes, I choose to make and share super easy recipes. It must take less time, the ingredients are easy to find, and they are affordable. I believe homemade tastes super delicious, and you will feel a significant difference from the market ones. The one I am sharing hints at spices we will be using today in our recipe. Instead of getting soggy apples, you can enjoy tender chunks of fruit with a handful of ingredients.
Variations of apple pie filling:
It is up to you that you use slices, chunks, or chopped applies in your filling.
If you are not a fan of white sugar, you can add brown sugar to the recipe.
Using lemon juice can enhance the flavors.
I will be using ground cinnamon as a spice, but you can use pumpkin mix, apple pie filling mix, or any other spice you like.
