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 apple tarts. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• Puff Pastry (Homemade or Store-bought)
• 2 Granny Smith Apple – cut into small cubes

• 1 tbsp slightly chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
