Great for more than just pie, but if you use it for other things, you might want to cook the apples a bit with the sugar and spices first. Add a cornstarch or rice flour slurry to make it thicker, too.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium apples
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 TBSP water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 2 TBSP butter or plant-based alternative.
Directions:
- Peel, core, and cut apples into slices or however you want.
- Mix in sugar, water, cinnamon and lemon juice. Let sit while you make the crust.
- Place butter in small pats all over the pie filling before adding the second crust over it.
Pro Tip:
Replace granulated sugar with brown sugar for a slightly more caramel flavor.
