Instructions
- Peel the apples. Core and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a Dutch oven, large soup pot or braiser, or similar sturdy-wide pot.
- To the pot, add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and flour. Toss to evenly coat the apples.
- Heat the pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring periodically, until the apples just begin to give up their juices, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Let cool completely to room temperature. To freeze, spoon the apples and any juices that have collected in the pot into a sturdy, ziptop freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze flat for up to 3 months. To use, let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, until the filling loose enough to spread evenly into the pie crust (do not thaw completely).
