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.

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]

WOW Great Job *******I made This pie Filling and it is the best. All I had was salted butter so I did not add the salt and it worked just fine wow wife says her man can cook. Thank You*******

[@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!

[@OriginalFallofMind]

Even faster is 4 cuts with a chef or nakiri. 6 Sliced and cored apples in 10 seconds.

[@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

[@lupechacon-florez7520]

This is a lovely recipe I will definitely be using this one to make your apple tart. I have one of those handheld gadgets that just coars the Apple. It slices them well enough and then from there I slice them thinner.

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. You can't really find a really good pie at the store anymore, so, I'm going to make one myself. I'm using your pie filling recipe. It looks really good. 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.

Did everything you said except didn't have heavy whipping cream so I substituted evaporated milk at same measurement. I filled my containers at 2 cups ea. It made 6 full cups. And,.. I got to lick the skillet! Hahaha! 😂 So very tasty! Thanks for the recipe. Will do it this way from now on!

Can this be used for making Apple Butter ? Looks absolutely delicious.

[@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?

[@johnnybegood9285]

I haven't made this recipe yet, so I can't say for sure, however, Rachel Cooks With Love has a good looking recipe as well topped with pecans. She says to let the filling cool before you load the pie dish so the bottom crust won't get soggy. She doesn't use cream, so I'm not sure if that would make a difference. I'm going to try both recipes.

[@sherryperry3524]

As long as you start with at least a room temperature filling and bake at 400-425 (depending upon your oven, pre-heated) your crust will be just fine. It should not get soggy. I’ve made more apple pies than I can count.
