Apple Pie Filling Recipe

This apple pie filling makes enough to fill a 9-inch pie or can be used to fill apple turnovers or hand-held pies, a cobbler, or apple crisp. You can chop the apples if you plan to use it for hand pies, or you could slice the apples thinly or chop them coarsely for a pie or cobbler. This apple filling is cooked, so it can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until it's time to make a dessert. The recipe can easily be scaled up for more pies and treats. Keep some stashed in the freezer for a last-minute sweet treat.
