Freezer Apple Pie Filling
I had planned on canning some apple pie filling this year, until I realized that freezing it is MUCH easier. I made these two bags up during Walker’s nap and the best part is that there is no cooking involved.
All you do is prep the apples and then mix all of the ingredients. After that, just throw the mixed apple pie filling into a freezer bag and label it. It’s so simple and you can do several at one time with little effort and then you’ll have homemade apple pie filling available all year long.
How to Make Freezer Apple Pie Filling:
makes one pie
Place butter in freezer.
Mix all ingredients except apples, butter and lemon juice in a gallon freezer bag and shake until combined.
Peel and slice apples.
Coat apples in lemon juice.
Add apples and butter to sugar mixture and shake until combined.
Remove air from bag, label and freeze flat.
When ready to bake, thaw and bake in regular pie crust just like you would any other apple pie. I would recommend baking at 350 for 60 minutes.
