Cooked Apple Filling

This filling is very similar to a filling that you would make for a cooked fruit apple pie. Cooked fruit fillings allow you to control the liquid that is going into the product or that is going to interact with the dough.

Yield: 4#
48.5 oz  Apples, small dice (1/4")
4.75 oz  Water
4.75 oz  Sugar
1 oz       Cornstarch
1 whole Vanilla bean
4.75 oz  Butter

MOP: Cooked Fruit

• Heat sauce pan with a large portion of the butter (4 oz), bring the fruit to a softened white stage
• Dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the dissolved starch into the fruit, return to a boil and cook until clear and thickened. Stir occasionally but you do not need to baby sit the pan while it cooks
• Add sugar and flavouring, stir until dissolved. Taste to adjust flavour
• Mount with butter
• Cool over a ice bath. Cover and refrigerate when cool, before use.
