There's nothing like opening a jar of canned apple pie filling in the middle of winter and bringing a little taste of fall into your kitchen. Of course, the most obvious use is to make a classic apple pie – it's practically easy when the filling is already prepared and ready to go. But this is just the beginning!
One of my other favorite ways to use this topping is to warm it up a bit and use it as a topping over vanilla ice cream. The combination is pure comfort food. I also like to add a scoop to my breakfast yogurt. It's an easy way to give a little boost to a plain yogurt, especially when I want a quick breakfast that feels like a treat.
It's also a delicious cheesecake topping. The tartness of the apples perfectly balances the richness of the cheesecake, and the cinnamon and nutmeg in the filling give it a nice warm flavor. Another great way to use it is in bread pudding – the apples add a delicious texture and sweetness that complement the custard-like bread.
The possibilities are endless. You can even get creative and use it in chunks, swirls or stuffed into crescent rolls for a quick apple dessert. Whether you're making something special or just looking for a simple snack, canned apple pie filling has so many uses and I love finding new ways to enjoy it! I bet you will too!
