The post Easiest Apple Pie Filling appeared first on Jenn's Kitchen Diary.]]> My daughter has loved cinnamon apples since she was a baby. I used to make home-made baby food for her, and cinnamon apple was her go-to. Now, she has graduated from purees to apple pie filling. Lately, many reports have come out indicating high levels of lead in store-bought cinnamon. So a word of caution: be choosy about where you purchase your cinnamon and only consume a small amount of cinnamon each week. I make these cinnamon apples for my daughter about once a week only. They’re one of her favorite waffle toppings. I use Penzey’s cinnamon, which, according a recent consumer report article, is considered “okay” to use. The article lists the brands that are both and unsafe to use. When it comes to your family’s health, definitely do not take any risks. Spend some extra money and buy the good quality ingredients.

This apple pie filling can be eaten with yogurt, pancakes, waffles, as the actual filling in a pie, or with ice cream. Kids and adults alike will love this.
