Notes
Best Apples for Apple Pie Filling
Granny Smith apples are the best, but you can also use Golden Delicious, Braeburn, or Gala. How to Store
Once the filling has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. How to Freeze Apple Pie Filling
Place the completely cooled filling in a freezer bag and freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Tips for a Successful Recipe
Ensure apple pieces are of the same size to cook evenly.
If the filling thickens too much, add a tablespoon of water until you reach the desired consistency. Keep in mind that the filling will thicken further as it cools.
