Apple Pie Filling


Write a review

Here's a malty-sweet version of an old standby that never seems to go out of style.

Estimated Times: Est. preparation time: 15 mins
Est. cooking time: 40 mins


Nutrition Facts

Ingredients
8 apples, sliced
2 tablespoons liquid pectin
1/4 cup malt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 lemon, rind

Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F

In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples to coat with pectin, malt, nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon rind. Set aside.

Roll out the pie dough (see NOTE) on a lightly floured surface about 2 inches wider than a 9-inch pie dish. Fit into the pan but do not trim. Add the filling. Roll out the remaining dough and place on top of the filling. Trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overlap. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Prick the top with a fork to vent. Bake for 10 minutes in a 450°F oven; reduce the heat to 350°F and bake 30-35 minutes longer, or until brown.

NOTE: Try our Apple Pie Crust with sesame seeds or use your favorite pie crust recipe.

Tip: The pectin will serve as a thickening agent; the malt will add a slightly sweet flavor.
