Making the Apple Pie Filling

While the pie crust is baking, it’s the perfect time to get started on the apple pie filling for these trifles!

1. Peel, core, and dice the apples, then place into a large pot or sauté pan.
2. Add the sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract, butter, and ground cinnamon. Use a spatula to combine everything together.
3. Cook the apples over medium heat, bringing them up to a simmer. Reduce the heat to a medium-low heat and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, until the apples are cooked and tender.
4. Depending on the variety of apples you’re using, you may need to add water to the filling. If the filling is already thickened but the apples are not yet tender, add ½ cup water in intervals as needed until the apples are cooked.
5. Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool completely before assembling the dessert cups!
