This is by far the best Apple Pie filling! Enjoy as is or stir in some date caramel for an extra pop of taste and add to your favorite pies, crisps, and oatmeal.
Apples are almost in season right now (August-November) so we decided to go apple picking. The farm we visited has about 2 weeks left until the apples are ripe, but we did find a few that were ready to be picked and baked!
We made a large batch of this apple pie filling and made mini pies. Half was later pureed for apple sauce and later used as filling in these homemade apple pie pop-tarts.

This apple pie filling is best used right away but will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator if you want to make it ahead of time.

Thank you for the lovely photos and recipe! How much does this yield? I'm hoping to make a dozen or two dozen small apple tarts.

Let me know what you think after you make them Phoebe! I filled a 20oz mason jar with the filling plus a bit more left over. It yields about 3 cups.
