Easy Apple Pie Filling
Ingredients:
- 8-10 medium Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and sliced. (Other varieties that can be used are Gala, Pink Lady, or Fuji.)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- ½ cup sugar
Directions:
Melt butter in a nonstick fry pan. Pour in apples and fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Mix cornstarch and water. Add cornstarch mixture, pie spice, and sugar. Stir well. Cover with lid and turn heat low. Simmer, stirring periodically for 15-20 minutes. This can be poured in a pie crust and baked as a pie. It can also be served as a side dish, over ice cream or over pancakes or waffles. It is also good served over grilled pork chops or ham slices.
