Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into even wedges. Set them aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and starts to bubble lightly.

Step 4

Add the sliced apples to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the sugar mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften but still hold their shape.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 6

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the apples and stir well. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a glossy sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the apple pie filling to a serving dish to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or pound cake, or use it as a filling for pies or turnovers.
