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.
