Simple Apple Pie Filling
(measurements depend on personal taste and type of apples, but cooking from the heart is a thing we most all do! Start with this apple pie filling!)
Combine chopped apples, melted butter, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt over medium heat in a sauce pan. Cook until apples are soft. Add a liquid (apple cider woks well), enough to cover apples. Whisk in 1 teaspoon cornstarch per 1 apple. Cook for a minute and serve inside shortcakes.
