Every year we go apple picking, and every year we come home with waayyyy too many apples. With some of this year’s crop, I made these. And I made this goodness. And I even made this drink. Yet, I still had a lot of apples left to eat.
Enter today’s Quick Tip Friday!
So the leftover apples wouldn’t go to waste, I decided to prepare apple pie filling and then freeze the filling for a future use.
I peeled, cored, and cut the apples into bite-size pieces. I added the lemon juice, sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed it all together. Then I put the apple pie filling into a freezer bag.
And just like that, I can pull the apple pie filling out of the freezer, defrost it, and make an apple pie in no time at all. And not a single apple goes to waste. Apple pie at the ready!
Enjoy today’s Quick Tip Friday!
Great idea!
We have two apple trees in our backyard, and they overwhelm us every year. I know, it’s a good problem to have! Thanks for the tip. It’s a reminder that using apples isn’t hard. It’s just a matter of making time. Enjoy those nummy pies.
What are the amounts you use for the apple pie filling
Hi Joann! Here are the measurements for the apple pie filling:
1/2 cup sugar
3 T all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp allspice
6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples ( about 2 1/4 pounds)
Preparing ahead of time and freezing is a great quick tip! Enjoy!
