An Apple Filling that you can use in several recipes!
Hey there! Recently I uploaded my recipe for Apple Cobbler. I mentioned that the apple filling could be frozen for later use. Therefore you can make the apple filling now, and use it next week, or during the holidays. I forgot to mention that you can also use the same apple filling as a apple topping for breakfast foods ( such as waffles, pancakes, etc), and desserts. This is pretty much an all purpose apple filling!
Since I uploaded the recipe for my apple cobbler, I’ve been getting a ton of questions about if it can be doubled, tripled, and etc. The answer is YES!!!!
Remember how much apple filling I made in the video? Believe it or not, most of it was frozen, and saved for later use. The amount made in the video was actually enough to make about 4 cobbler!
In this post I’m going to show you how to make enough apple filling/topping for SEVERAL Cobblers, and other desserts. Remember, it’s freezable!
The apple filling tutorial is shown in my apple cobbler video.

You are an excellent cook. Keep it going, I love apple pies and cobblers.
Thank you Martha! I do too!
I tried the peanut brittle and they came out perfect. This week i’m going to try and make your sweet potato cinnamon rolls. I sure hope they come out the way you made your. Keep those recipes coming.
Oh before i forget, i also tried the Buttermilk Pound cake.
Thanks for trying my recipes Mary!
Brilliant. If this is anything like your other recipes, it’s sure to be a hit. I recently made your Smothered Chicken, French Toast and Salisbury steak recipes. Each one went over very well with my 4 boys and husband. They even went back for seconds! Thanks for all these fantastic recipes. I’m making your oven roasted chicken and gravy tonight for dinner.
Awesome! I hope you had an amazing dinner!
The Apple Cobbler was awesome!!! Will make it again Thanksgiving & Christmas.
Thanks for trying Betty!
I am making this now as we speak! I could not believe there was no butter in it I will be using mine as a topping for caramel apple cheesecake. I can’t wait to see how it turns out! Isabella will listen
