Vanilla-Maple Apple Pie Filling Recipe

  • 2 pounds apples, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 dash salt
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  1. Toss apple slices with lemon juice and set aside. Combine water, maple syrup, vanilla, sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large saucepan, stirring until well mixed.
  2. Bring maple syrup mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture thickens and turns clear. Fold in apple slices and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 15 minutes before spooning into a prepared pie crust or freezing.
