Step 1

In a saucepan, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and water.

Step 2

Let it come to a boil over medium heat and let that simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Now peel and slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices. Then add them to the saucepan.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan and let the apples simmer for 6-8 minutes. Or until they become soft. You don’t want them to be too soft though. Now mix in your vanilla extract.

Step 5

If the Apple pie filling is too runny, spoon out a few tablespoons of the liquid and mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to create a slurry. Then stir it back in with the apples.

Step 6

Now let the filling cool and transfer to glass jars and close the lids tightly.

Step 7

Store in the fridge. The filling will thicken as it sits.
