Duncan Hines Comstock More Fruit Apple Pie Filling and Topping, Thanksgiving Baking, 21 oz. (Pack of 8)

Wanted a pie filling without "high fructose corn syrup" for a 2-ingredient cake recipe. This tasted great.

Got what I ordered

I found a recipe for an apple caramel dump cake that I was making far too often for the amount of fat and sugar! I now use this Comstock sugar free pie filling, and brown sugar Stevia instead of caramel. I also use extra cinnamon and nutmeg, plu a little of the bourbon left over from Cmas eggnog. This is the type of dump cake recipe that uses dry spice cake mix topped with a ton of melted butter.First, I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 TJoes plant butter (which actually tastes good!). Although the plant butter doesn’t have any cholesterol, it is equal in fat and calories to dairy butter.Next I followed the recipe for the spice cake with oil, eggs, and water, and used batter to top apples and Stevia. It adds one bowl and a whisk to wash, but it comes out more like a regular apple spice cake, and is topped with lots of walnut pieces.My final version uses the regular cake mix version with melted plant butter instead of oil. I use a little more butter and a little less water. This version tastes great, but removes the guilt from all the extra sugar from the original recipe, and uses a healthier fat. It may not be health food, but I now make it for friends and family on a regular basis!I’ve also made an apple tart by topping the sugar free pie filling with pre-baked pieces of puff pastry topped with stevia, cinnamon, and walnut pieces.

I wasn’t sure what to expect ordering these and I’m very very pleased. Cannot beat the taste and quality. I will reorder again. I make hand pies and this is just perfect for small or a large pie. Excellent taste, quality,and texture. Not mushy or too sweet or not sweet enough. Perfect texture and quality.

I'd bought a couple cans of this no sugar added apple and it was very good so i ordered this by the case. The batch i got is apple and water, nothing else. Looks like it skipped a few steps before it was canned! The return process was nonexistent so I tried turning a can into a filling. Added some apple juice, allulose, cinnamon and cornstarch. Voila! Delicious and I can customize it. I really should give it 5 stars because it's tasty when you buy it normally and really, even making it up this way is easy because the cooked, peeled apple is the hardest part of preparing filling. Very good and I do recommend!

Good.

Keep 'em on the shelf.Make smoothies.Make pie.This stuff is good quality. Super convenient too!

I love to use canned apples for a quick treat when unexpected guest or events arise. These apples have a wonderful taste and are a great texture. The only problem I had with this brand was they are a bit seedy. If you don’t mind the shell like pieces from the seed you will like these. I however like the smooth soft texture.
