Perfect Caramel Apple Pie Filling

Casey Rooney
The amazing, homemade caramel apple pie filling will make the best caramel apple pie you've ever had, but you can also use it in SO many other ways! Delicious apples are cooked in a rich, sweet caramel sauce that is fabulous spooned over ice cream, pancakes, on top of toast..or just eaten by the spoonful! It's truly addicting!

Ingredients
  

  • 10-12 medium/large apples
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice juice from about 1 lemon
  • 1 stick butter, unsalted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour you can also use cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into thin slices. Place the apple slices in a large bowl and coat with the lemon juice as you’re working through cutting/peeling the apples. 
  • Drain the lemon juice and place the apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a large skillet over medium heat. Stir until the butter and brown sugar have melted together into a thin sauce and the apples are softened, about 7-10 minutes. The apples are cooked enough when you can pierce them with a knife or fork with no resistance. 
  • Add the heavy cream and flour and stir to combine. Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce back to medium and simmer apples a few minutes more until the sauce has thickened.
  • Cool, then store the filling in the fridge in an airtight container for 5-6 days. You can also freeze the apples. Freeze in a zip-top freezer bag (with all air squeezed out) for 4-6 months.
