Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 cups Peeled, cored, and sliced apples (about 8–10 medium apples)
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice apples into roughly 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss the sliced apples with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice immediately after cutting to prevent browning.
- Make the coating: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Whisk until well blended.
- Toss and coat: Add the lemon-coated apples to the bowl with the dry mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly so every apple slice is evenly coated.
- Pack for freezing: Pack the apple mixture into freezer-safe bags or containers, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Label the containers with the date and store in the freezer for up to a year.
Notes
This filling is versatile and can be used for pies, crisps, and cobblers. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
