I made homemade apple pie filling for my mini snickerdoodle apple pies and I realized that the apple pie filling is so good that it deserved a post all on it’s own 🙂 Think ice cream topping, yogurt topping, mixed with granola…or just on a spoon!  Skip the canned store bought apple pie filling and make your own at home in about 15 minutes!

This homemade apple pie filling is very easy to make, I would say that the hardest part is peeling and coring the apples! You need about 6 ingredients to these apple deliciousness as well, and I would bet you have most of them in your pantry right now. So, go ahead and grab them, because this apple pie filling tastes sooooo much better than store bought!
