How Much Cornstarch Do I Put In Pie Filling?
The amount of cornstarch you put in pie filling depends on the recipe and the desired thickness of the filling. As a general rule, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of liquid will thicken the filling to a medium consistency. Start with this amount and adjust as needed to achieve the desired thickness. Keep in mind that cornstarch thickens as it cooks, so it’s better to add a little at a time and let the filling simmer for a few minutes before adding more.
