This Apple Pie filling is so simple and delicious- I keep going back to it whenever I need an easy fruit filling for a pie! This is great for the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Once the mixture starts bubbling, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes or until the apples have softened a bit (be aware, they will soften a but more during baking).
