Such a great flavor! I doubled the recipe and used a whole bag of Granny Smith apples(9 apples). I used it with some Phyllo pastry to make an apple strudel. It was amazing!!
I have made this a few times, and everyone has absolutely loved it!
I followed this exactly as written. Was a big hit. Very tasty. Will definitely be using again.
This is so easy a delicious I’ll never buy canned again. Just make large batches when Apple’s are i n season and freeze.
This was my first time to make Apple Pie Filling. Had lots of Apples, so I thought beings I had everything on hand I would give this a try.
I’m here to say, this is the Best Ever. I doubled the recipe, and glad I did. I now have enough to use some and freeze the rest. I always used can Pie Filling, and thought that was the best. It’s good, but not always on hand. Now I know what Good Pie Filling Is. Thanks ever so much.
I have not made pie fillings many times however I do enjoy baking and I wanted to thank you for this recipe it was very good
Tried this recipe for an Apple Pie for Easter and it was super easy to make and tasted way better than the bought apple pie filling!
Will definitely be making again
Absolutely simple and amazing. First time doing it and was just amazed at how delicious this was!!!
I’ve made this recipe before and it always turns out great!
This recipe was used for a gifted pie for a sick friend. She called me to GUSH about the filling, and ask for the recipe. I did add raisins, before boiling the filling and they plumped up nicely. I would HIGHLY recommend this recipe to everyone; it is the best one I’ve ever tried and I’m 74 years old!

I love this filling recipe. I have used it for the mass amount of apples my backyard apple tree produced this year and also used peaches from my moms trees with the same recipe. love it both ways.
I made this recipe several times and love it.
Very easy, quick and delicious!
So so simple and delicious!
Delicious and easy. I’m not much of a cook but this was easy. My husband loved it and mother approved. Now that’s an accomplishment
