Ingredients:
- 6 large Granny Smith apples (peel, core and cut into 1/2" pieces)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- prepare apples and thickener
- Wash the apples, peel, core (use apple corer/slicer), and cut into 1/2 pieces. Place into a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Squeeze 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside. (This is your pie filling thickener).
- cook the apples
- In a large skillet or cast iron pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter and cook the cut apples for about 5 minutes, stir every minute until they just turn soft. I like them with a little firmness, so taste them and cook them to the firmness you prefer.
- Next, pour the lemon juice and cornstarch mixture over the apples and stir until well combined for a couple of minutes.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar over the apples, and the sea salt. Stir until well combined.
- Remove from the heat and add the cinnamon and nutmeg off heat. The reason you do this is to keep the flavor of the spices!
- Let the pie filling cool completely so it thickens. Once the apple filling is cool, use it in a recipe, store in in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in a Mason jar, or freeze in zip-top bags.

- Reduce heat to low and let simmer 10 minutes or until apples begin to soften. They do not need to be completely cooked! Remove from heat and cover. Let cool about 30-40 minutes, checking periodically. Your apples should be soft but not mushy.
- Ladle equal amounts into 4-5 freezer bags. (approx 2 ½ cups into each bag.)
- Let cool on the counter and then freeze for up to one year.
