Ingredients
Instructions
-
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
-
Pour the dry ingredient mixture over the sliced apples. Add lemon juice and toss until apples are evenly coated.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples soften slightly and sugar dissolves to form a thick syrup.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature before using or storing.

Use immediately to fill a pie crust or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
