Ingredients
- 2.5 kilograms apples
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup plain flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash, peel, core and slice your apples into slices approximately 0.5cm thick and add to a large pot.
- Add flour, sugar and spices and mix well into the apples. Stir through the lemon juice and allow to sit for 30 minutes until the juices start flowing.
- Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens, around 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before transferring 2 cups of filling (or whatever amount you think will be useful for you) into snap lock bags or freezer proof jars or containers. I will often let the pie filling cool overnight in the fridge before freezing.
- Seal the bags, label with contents and date and freeze.
Notes
This recipe can easily be altered depending on how many apples you have
The sugar can be adjusted to more if you prefer it sweeter or less if you don't!
