Make This Apple Pie Filling for your Pies & Tarts

[@talmadgebirdsong1609]

I'm 83 and my cook for 60 years is sick so I'm the new cook. I just made this but didn't have the brown sugar so I used real maple syrup instead and I added a 1/2 tsp vanilla. Then I forgot to use the cream. It tasted wonderful. My ex-cook asked where did you buy this and I said," I made it". She said,"No you didn't". So I had to show her the notes I made while you were demonstrating.

[@TurpsKitch_IN]

awesome man

[@TurpsKitch_IN]

did you use a cup of maple syrup?

[@BsBucWiLD]

When you say "my cook for 60 years", are you referring to your wife? If so, i know what you mean, I have a live-in bum of 28 years and she doesn't know how to cook, but I still love her.

[@valeriescull2076]

Made this filling for a struedel this morning. Will fill my puff pastry soon and serve it as part of our Christmas breakfast! Can’t wait!

[@TheLastPharm]

My mom always made our apple pies but the apples were always put into the pastry peeled, sliced and just... raw. Always appreciated, and always worth scoring a second helping. I really never considered actually preparing the apple filling beyond what my mom still does. Having said that and having seen Dimitra's recipe here above, I'm pretty sure there could be plenty of apple pie avenues yet to discover. I went out today and scored some fresh fruit to try out this recipe. I can't wait!

[@paullukens7154]

Wonderful recipe. Please don't pay any attention to the idiots who comment complaining or suggesting something different. They should get their own channel. Thank you!

I love my Pampered Chef apple peeler, corer, slice.

[@tinahamilton2694]

Dear Dmitra, you are right, this is the best tasting apple filling I ever made. Everybody who gets some tells me it is the best they ever tasted. I do have some information for you in return. There is an apple corer/slicer/peeler that has been around since colonial times, and is a whiz. In seconds, apple is cored, peeled and sliced as you turn the crank. Very simple mechanism, no electronics. KZbinr Oliver Porter gives an invaluable tutorial on how to use one, get the slice size you want, adjust how deep the blade goes into apple, etc. We had a couple at our bakery and they saved our lives. Young kids could turn the crank and peel hundreds of apples for us. As to model and price, that will depend on what you need. Some attach with a clamp, good if it fits your counter, or with a suction clamp that does lose its ability to hold over time. There are ones cast iron coated with porcelain, stainless steel, etc. I tend to avoid the really cheap models from China, that come in $20 range. Pampered Chef is ridiculous for $64, they provide a little wooden table to clamp the unit onto, totally extraneous if you have a table or counter top. I would check to see that the slice thickness is adjustable, peeler, too. Bed Bath and Beyond has one for $39.99, but the slice is 1/8", and I couldn't determine if the blade is adjustable. Kohl's has a stainless steel model, $34.99, with a 3/8" slice, couldn't determine adjustability. You might want to squint and see what model Mr. Oliver is using. I recommend whole-heartedly that you purchase one of these to save you endless hours of preparation. If you ever get back into professional baking, buy several. Above all, watch Mr. Oliver's video. He showed me how to do things that I didn't know in the past, but would have benefited from. Thanks again for your champion recipe. I hope you'll let your followers know if you do get one of these, and how you like it. Cheers! PS, I made a Dutch crumble topping with butter, flour, brown sugar, white sugar, oats, pecans and walnuts. Grand!

[@yourpalfranc]

I got a Spiralizer from Amazon for peeling/slicing and I think it worked great!! I'm not an experienced pie maker by any means, in fact, this is my first from scratch apple pie filling. But, the Spiralizer made the peeling/slicing go very quickly. 10 apples in about 15/20 minutes, and it went quicker as I got the hang of the device. The slices might be border-line too thin, but I'm really happy with the results and Dimitra's recipe is amazing!! Full disclosure...I'll use a Pillsbury crust just because I know my limitations. I think it's gonna be a tasty pie!! Thanks!! ~Frank

After being away from the kitchen, for some time, I've gotten the need to try something, I've made up my mind to try apple pie.

After a couple try's with premade crust I'll be trying with your short bread crust, It sounds so good, so thank you so much for the vid, it's going to be a big help.

So I'm a pretty good cook, my signiture is a burger grilled with a mac & cheese center or baked beans I call them Meteor Burgers. It's December 1st and I got some apples from my job a couple days ago and just decided I was gonna bake an apple pie from scratch. I chose your recipe for filling cause it was the first in my search... mind you I've never baked anything from scratch in my life. Figured it was like cookin just math & science gonna see how it adds up, literally my dough is cooling right now. Just wanted to thank you for the content.

[@rosejohnson452]

I've seen this recipe written by melting butter in pan, add cornstarch or AP flour, add spices, sugars and cream and heat until thickened stirring constantly for 1 minute. Set aside to cool. Then add to apples and stir in. Put in pie shell, if 2 crusts give egg wash and bake 425 for 15 min, turn down heat to 350 for another 45 min.

[@TheLastPharm]

I just made this recipe. Feedback time! 1. Type of apple REALLY matters with this. She's using only Galas here which are pretty hard apples and can easily withstand some pre-cooking. Some people use several types of apples in a pie so the trick is realizing that the softer apples like Golden Delicious can't handle the heat the way the Galas can, so they should be added a few minutes later. 2. You have to watch this pan like a hawk, otherwise you've made applesauce, no freakin' joke. It happens REAL fast. 3. Last comment is that you really do need 10 good sized apples for this recipe otherwise your apples will be swimming in sauce. Would have been nice if there had been some indication for how many 9 or 10 inch pies you can make with this. I only need to make one 10 inch apple pie but had way too much goop and had to send search & rescue to dig my apple bits out. Tasty recipe though. Next time I'll either plant to make two pies or reduce this recipe by 50%. Live and learn. Anyone else have some tips?

[@joconrad756]

If you don't have enough corn starch I used flour and it wouldn't get like yours old I find middle s l ice I'd not the answer, thank you for sharing oh yea 10 apples is a must

[@deejo2]

My aunt bought me a device that peels, cores & slices the apples. I LOVE it! But beware, it doesn't work so well with soft apples. When they're soft, the corer can't get a good enough grip to rotate the apples. But we don't usually use the soft or mushy apples in a pie anyway. She bought this one for around $20. at Bed Bath & Beyond but I'm sure you can find them at most big stores & online.
