Ingredients

1. Sauté
2. 5 apples
3. 1 oz butter
4. 3 oz sugar
5. Seasonings
6. 1 tsp cinnamon
7. 1/4 tsp nutmeg
8. 1/4 tsp salt
9. 2 tsp lemon juice
10. Slurry
11. 2 oz cold water
12. 3/4 oz cornstarch
13. Add without Heat
14. 3 1/2 oz sugar
15. 1/4 oz butter

Steps

1. Set oven to 425F.

2. Peel and cut apples to desired size. 

   *I cut the apples into 1/4s, and then cut out the core. Then cut the 1/4s in half, and the halves into 1/3s.

3. Sauté the apples in the 1 oz of butter until slightly softened.

4. Add the 3 oz of sugar, and allow to simmer until about a 1/4" of the apple pieces are translucent.

5. Once simmering, add the salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

6. Mix together the cold water and cornstarch, and add this slurry to the apples once cooked to preference.

7. Remove from heat, and add the 3.5 oz sugar and 0.25 oz butter. Stir until dissolved. 

   **If the pie filling is still a little too thick, add small increments of butter until desired consistency.

   

8. Allow to cool before filling your pie crust.

9. Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
