Notes for Success:

This is a cooked apple filling recipe so I am using cornstarch as the thickener.

When measuring cornstarch I cannot stress enough that a kitchen scale is the best way to go.

Cornstarch is a very difficult ingredient to measure consistently with a volume spoons measure

So while I list both measures below I cannot stress enough how the grams measure with a scale is going to give you the best results.

Many times people have complained that their recipe is like rubber and they don’t know why!

This is from a heavy measure of cornstarch when using volume measuring spoon vs the 100% accurate scale measure in grams.

I like using granny smith apples for all of my baking and cooking.

You can use whatever cooking/baking apple you like the best

The sugar in this recipe can be adjusted or even omitted all together.

Another note about the cornstarch:
Cornstarch will tighten your recipes and get slightly gelatanized upon refrigeration.

I like to rewarm my apple filling before using it in recipes and it is best served at room temperature or warm.
