Apple Pie Filling with T's Maple-Vanilla Twist

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Tos the apple slices with lemon juice in a big bowl so they’re nicely coated and won’t brown. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water, honey, and maple syrup. Stir everything until the honey and syrup have melted into the water. Then, add the vanilla bean seeds and give it a good stir.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture into the pot and stir well to help it dissolve. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it cook for about 2 minutes until it thickens up.

Step 3

Carefully add the apple slices to the pot. Bring everything back to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently until the apples are tender, usually around 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 4

Once the apples are soft, take the pot off the heat and remove the lid. Let the filling cool down to room temperature—it’ll take at least 30 minutes. This way, the flavors have time to meld perfectly.
