Instructions
Apple pie filling with tapioca starch
- Combine all ingredients together in a medium-sized pan. Mix gently and cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened and the apples have softened JUST SLIGHTLY.
- Remove the apples from the heat and let them cool before adding them to the prepared pie shell for baking.
Apple pie filling with minute tapioca
- Mix together the ingredients in a medium-sized pan. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to soften the tapioca.
- Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thickened slightly and the apples are JUST SLIGHTLY softened. Don't overcook them as they will continue baking in the pie.
- Let it cool before adding it to your prepared pie shell.
How to bake the pie
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust. Top with another pie crust or streusel topping.
- If you have used pie dough on the top, be sure to brush with an egg wash.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. You will want the apples to be tender, and the top a golden brown. If the apples still aren't tender (not mushy), bake another 5-10 minutes.
