How do you make Apple Pie Filling ?

This recipe is a mix of sliced apples, brown sugar, butter and spices that is cooked with some cornstarch on the stove to thicken everything up.
It takes just minutes to put together and can be stored in the fridge or freezer for later use.
Apple pie filling from scratch tastes SO much better than the canned version and can be used in everything from classic pies to danishes.
I know some people prefer making apple pie filling without cornstarch, but find it’s the easiest way to make it and you probably have everything already on hand.
Tips
Some apples are juicier than others. If you would like your filling thicker, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Add a little at a time while the mixture is boiling until you reach desired consistency.
If by any chance you have lemon juice at hand, place sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice.

  1. Hi Sara, your apple pie cheesecake tacos sound yummy, but I think there’s an error in a measurement. It states to top the cheesecake filling with 1/2 tsp of apple pie filling, which would be a really minuscule amount. Is this supposed to be 1/2 Tablespoon maybe? Thanks.

    1. I noticed that too – did you hear back from her? Guess I’ll just “wing” it and see how much topping fits.

  2. you can also make a tostada with the same instructions ( a flat tacco) thanks for the good recipe…and you can use any fruit pie filling…maybe even pumpkin, if you like pumpkin that is Margaret Watson

  3. I prefer them warm as the taco becomes chewy when chilled. Next time I will put apples on bottom and cheesecake mixture on top.

  4. My boyfriend and my co-workers loved them. The ones I took to work were gone by 8am!! They were easy to make.
