I’ve come into some tasty apples I want to preserve so I’m planning to make this recipe for preserving apple pie filling. However I’d be mostly eating it in oatmeal and on ice cream instead of baking it into a pie. Do you think this recipe would result in a sufficiently cooked filling to be tasty without the step of baking it in a pie crust? Thanks!
