Freezer Apple Pie Filling - OAMC

Wonderful. I loved this pie, I made up the filling, put most of it in 4 single pie crusts, I ran out of flour, the rest went into a pie plate to freeze and to be put in a pie crust later. I made up one tonight for dessert with a crumb topping and it was yummy, the filling stayed together, didn't run all over the plate. The only changes I made is I used ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice instead of just nutmeg and putting in into pie crusts. I will top then when I pick up some more flour. I can't wait to eat it again. I made another batch of this with gala apples, I used the full amount of cinnamon and nutmeg but added 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cloves and 1/4 tsp allspice to the mixture. The filling tasted awesome. This time I got 6 pies. Four are topped with crusts 1 with crumb topping, the last one with crumb topping but with added oatmeal.

I just baked one, 375 F for 1 hr and 10 minutes. Came out perfect, no running mess.

I really liked this recipe but I thought it could have used more apples. Not sure how long it lasts, I have to try some that are left over in the freezer yet.

What a great idea! I froze 3 and made one right away with a crumble topping. So yummy! Thanks for posting.

Three bags in the freezer and one to enjoy tonight. Very sweet - my kids like that.

I followed the directions exactly and this came out beautifully. The perfect mix of apples and "yummy goo". This is a keeper!

Delicious! Though I didn't watch the apples as they cooked and I ended up with mush. lol. My fault, next time I'll watch closer.

This had a great taste but i really wanted more texture (apple bits) I made a cruble and i will be trying this again but maybe not cooking the apples for so long.

Excellent! Used this recipe to clear out all of the beat up apples in my crisper and will definitely make again. For a super easy dessert, suggest Apple Pie Pockets. My family gobbled it down, then begged for it the again. The third night I put them off so I could have some pie filling left for the freezer. Have had my eye on this recipe for some time, love that unlike the stuff you buy in the store, it has no high fructose corn syrup and tastes like honest to goodness apples. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Excellent pie filling! The only alteration I made is that I added a splash of vanilla! Thanks for sharing!

I wanted a homemade "apple pie filling" similar to canned for making camp pies (in the fire). I also wanted sugar free (or close to), so I adapted this and it turned out reasonably well! I scaled it down to 1 pie, used 1 tsp of pure stevia and 4 T of veg. glycerin, and arrowroot powder. I didn't have to boil the first time bcz I didn't have to melt sugar, and it thickened up really well. However, after putting the apples in and boiling (for 6 minutes) the sauce wasn't as thick. I think next time I will cook the apples in a little butter in a skillet first and then add to step 2 and see if it stays thicker. I used 4 granny smith and probably could have used another one.

Couple of changes...subbed xylitol for the sugar and only used 2 1/2 cups; only had about 2/3 cup cornstarch so it wasn't as gooey as I thought it should be...so I tossed the apples (which I increased to 26 cups) in flour before adding to the sauce. I think the combination of the extra thickening agent and extra apples helped. Even then, I was only able to fill 4 quart sized bags. Granted, they were FULL, but I'd have only gotten two maybe three gallon sized bags and I increased the apples LOT! Either way, they tasted yummy fresh out of the pot. I'll review again after I've thawed some and made a pie.

What a GREAT EASY recipe! Of course we went apple picking and overdid it. I wanted to make an apple crisp..so I got this recipe out. So extremely easy, no canning necessary. I cut it down to 12 cups of apples, b/c after that I got tired of peeling. I also omitted the nutmeg b/c I am out. But still absolutely delicious...Thank you!!!

This is an awesome idea. I cut down the sugar but otherwise followed the recipe as stated. DH wants to use this as an ice cream topper too.

Absolutely delicious! I made this exactly how is was posted. I purchased a 5 lb bag of fuji apples since I didn't now how many apples would fill 16 cups. It wasn't quite enough but I will know better next time to buy 5lbs and maybe 5 more apples. It still came out great. The sauce is great tasting. The only problem is next time I want to purchase an apple peeler because peeling all those apples takes forever.lol. Thank you so much for posting. Now for 4th of July and for Christmas, I can make apple pies ahead of time. I always make 2 for each holiday and I am always rushed and start to stress. Thank you again!!

This recipe saved me. My husband picked two boxes of apples from our backyard tree. We weren't eating them fast enough so I made two batches of this freezer pie filling. It tasted great, was easy etc. I made a pie this weekend and it was easy and delicious.

A delicious recipe for the busy Mom. I had a bunch of McIntosh apples that were going to go bad. I ran accross this recipe & though I would give it a try.My heavens I am so glad that I did. I cut down the sugar a bit, added more apples (next time I am going to replace some white sugar with some brown sugar). I needed a quick desert for dinner and so I got out my trusty apple pie filling which created an absolutely delicious apple crisp. I also used this filling in place of apple mixture for Apple Cheese Danish, Apple Cheese Danish. Quick, easy, delicious that adds a great presentation. Thanks LelBel. Pat Merwin

THIS RECIPE IS JUST AWESOME!! I used Michigan Jonathan Apples that were more on the tart side and sliced them with the KitchenAid #6 attachment cone. I made this with the intention of using for ice cream topping but can't wait to try a pie with it. Thanks for sharing...this one's a keeper!
