When the leaves start changing color, I start to think about all of the different ways to enjoy apples. I use to work at an apple orchard and bring home lots of apples for apple pie or apple crisp. This filling is the best apple pie filling I’ve ever had and reminds me of home. It’s a recipe that’s been past down, that’s very simple to make – and most of the ingredients can be found in your home normally. This apple pie filling recipe is also very easy to follow.
The Perfect Apple Pie Filling
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 cups Apples
- 3/4 cups White Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 3/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 4 dollops Margarine or Butter
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees C (425 degrees F)
- Mix together the above, dry ingredients in a large bowl (or in a plastic container with a lid, if you want to shake everything together)
- Slice apples thinly, add lemon juice to the slices
- Add the apples to the dry ingredients and combine well.
- Place apples on top of uncooked pie shell, in a pie tin.
- Put 4 dabs of margarine or butter over apples.
- Sprinkle with a touch of extra flower.
- Put on top crust and seal around the edges, as well as poke the middle so that there is an air vent.
- Bake at 220 degrees C (425 degrees F) for 10 minutes.
- Turn the oven down to 160 degrees C (325 degrees F) for a further 30 to 35 minutes.
I had green apples, but you can use whatever apples you have or enjoy. We used pre-made dough this time, as we didn’t feel like making our own. The pie came out delicious and is great with a bit of custard, whipped cream or ice cream to top it off.

I absolutely love apple pie and thankfully my dad has a few trees where we get ours apples from.
I really want some apple pie now! This looks so good x
Growing your own is pretty cool!
Sounds delicious, apple pie is, definitely an autumn food, with a big drizzle of custard!
So delicious!
I have to confess I’ve never made apple pie from scratch, but this looks delicious! Maybe it’s time I stopped being so lazy in the kitchen.
It’s not too hard if the crust is store bought. 🙂
