One bite, and Grandma was right. If you want to learn how to make homemade apple pie filling, this is really the only recipe you need. -Maggie Greene, Granite Falls, Washington

Steps:
- Combine apples, brown sugar, water and lemon juice in a pot.
- Cover and cook over medium heat about five minutes or until the apples are just tender.
- Mix flour, granulated sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt and stir into apple mixture.
- Cook, stirring constantly until the syrup thickens- about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare pastry.
- Turn the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie pan.
- Cover with top crust with slits in it; seal and flute.
- Cover the top of the pie with a 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Bake 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a generous amount of butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the pie crust and filling.
- Don't overwork the pie dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the pie dough before baking: This will help it hold its shape in the oven.
- Preheat the oven before baking the pie: This will help the crust cook evenly.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let the pie cool before slicing: This will help the filling set.
