Step 1

Peel, core, and dice or slice the apples.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet on the stove over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon and 3 tablespoons apple juice.

Step 4

Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes or until the apples are slightly softened.

Step 5

In a small dish combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon apple juice to create a slurry.

Step 6

Add the slurry to the pan while stirring. Allow the mixture to bubble and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the filling is thickened.

Step 7

Let the apple pie filling cool completely before using it in a recipe. Always remember that the filling will thicken more once it is cool.
