Homemade Apple Pie Filling

• 6 cups (4-5 apples) Granny Smith apples (peeled and chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch nutmeg
• pinch salt
• 2 cups water (may need to add more)

1. Toss apples in lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugars, cornstarch and spices. Pour in water.
3. Cook over medium heat until boiling. Cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add apples, bring back to boil. Simmer until tender. (Original recipe says 10-15 minutes but mine simmered for much longer.) Add additional water as necessary.
