I love whipping up a few bags of Freezer Apple Pie Filling in the early fall while making my batches of apple sauce. I’ll already have a pile of peeled and cut up apples so I can knock out two recipes at once! A wonderful attribute of fresh fruit is that it freezes very well and keeps its flavor; by making these in advance you can have fresh fruit flavored pies year round and not have to use anything out of a can. This Freezer Apple Pie Filling is quick, easy, and will best of all will save you time later when you NEED an apple pie (dinner invites, school functions, a day that ends in ‘y’). Multiple variations included to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 6 1/2 cups fruit peeled and sliced thin *** you may substitute 1 cup of apples for different combinations like apple blueberry, apple raspberry
Directions
Place the sliced apples into a gallon ziplock bag and pour in the remaining ingredients. Shake until the apples are completely covered.
Let stand sealed on the counter about 10 minutes for the dry mixture to set into the fruit. Release the air from the bag, seal again, and then lay the bag on its side in the freezer, smoothing out the mixture into an even thickness.
To bake, take out the pie filling from the freezer and let thaw on the counter. When all de-thawed, pour the apple pie filling into a crust lined pan and mound in the center. Add 5 tbsp butter dotted on top of filling. Top with top crust layer and flute edges. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and sugar and proceed to bake at 350 for 1 hr 15 minutes.
