To make your own apple filling: In a heavy bottomed saucepan cook 4 cups of cubed apple, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp apple pie spice and 1/4 tsp of salt. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until softened. Thicken with 1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp cold water, repeat as needed. Cool then proceed with the recipe as written.
