There’s something so comforting and cozy about this time of year. Apple orchards, leaf peeping, B&B weekend getaways, apple cider floats made with real apple cider, visiting a local vineyard that specializes in amazing pizza, outdoor patios, flannel shirts, campfires… The list goes on and on.

One of the very BEST things about Autumn is the baking. I can’t tell you how much I adore baking. Yeast breads and rolls to go with soup, biscuits with rich gravy ladled over them, quick breads (with pumpkin spice! of course!), tipsy amaretto cake, and…you guessed it, PIE!

And what says Fall better than Apple Pie? I mean, you really can’t go wrong with this classic.

Use this amazing, EASY apple pie filling in all sorts of stuff. Obviously pie, but how about tucking some between the layers of a coffee cake, or making quick apple turnovers using puff pastry? For a simple, delicious treat try spooning some over cinnamon ice cream and topping your sundae with some salted caramel and whipped cream.

This makes approximately 24 oz. of pie filling.
