Fragrant Apple Filling
Apples are certainly the vital elements. You can make use of cooking apples (or apples for cooking), however truthfully, any kind will certainly work as long as you are OK with either a mushier or chunkier apple part. Also, if you pick tart apple, you might need to add more sugar to stabilize the slightly sour taste. But when I add sweet apples, I sometimes completely leave out the sugar in the apple mix.
Nonetheless, cinnamon for me is a necessary component in the apple filling. One tsp ground cinnamon makes certain the dessert (in addition to your entire house!) will smell attractive. You can also add some cloves to your apple treat for some added taste.
