How To Make Homemade Cinnamon Apple Filling

This simple and easy Cinnamon Apple Filling is perfect for apple pie, turnover, muffin and tart. I have recipes below on where you can use it, check the related posts at the end.

I used to buy pie filling in the store whenever I need one, until I learned how to make my own. Homemade pie filling is very easy to make, I cannot believe it took  me this long to realize it. Best part of it, I am actually using fresh fruits and there is no preservatives added to it. What you see is what you get.

I love that I can customize it according to my taste when it comes to how sweet I want it to be. I can even add nuts to it and adjust the amount of cinnamon that goes it. This pie filling is perfect for apple pie, Apple Turnover or Mini Pecan Pie. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 2 Large Granny Smith Apple – peeled and diced
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
