Dried Apple Pie Filling
Planning to make hand pies? Sort out a great filling first! This dried-apple filling makes baked goods absolutely delicious. Just about everyone keeps a stash of home-dried fruit around — usually for brewing up fragrant compote — but few people realize there's another great use for it. To turn dried apples into a filling, you first simmer them, then grind them up. An electric or hand-crank meat grinder is perfect for the job. Feel free to add more sugar; go by your own taste here.

- Baking is popular year-round. In the warm months there are tons of filling options — all kinds of berries and fruit. Winter is trickier, so home cooks fall back on pies filled with jam, fruit butter, or frozen berries and fruit. But hardly anyone thinks of one more option: dried fruit! And pies made with dried fruit really do turn out wonderfully tasty. This recipe walks you through making a filling from dried apples, and it couldn't be simpler. A meat grinder is the best tool for grinding the apples — a hand-crank or electric one both work, though the electric one goes much faster. Skip the blender; it won't give the apple mass the right texture. 1. Put the dried apples in a deep bowl and cover with cold water. Wash them well, then drain — washing dried fruit is a must. 2. Transfer the clean apples to a saucepan and cover with fresh cold water; the water should fully cover the fruit. 3. Set the pan over the heat. Once the water is warm, add the sugar, then bring it up to a boil. 4. Cook for 5 minutes from the time it boils — no longer, since you don't want the apples to fall apart. 5. Drain off all the liquid; you can save it for other recipes or drink it as compote. 6. Let the apples cool a little, then run them through the meat grinder. That's it — your pie filling is ready to go!
