Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Combine the diced apples and apple cider in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover and simmer for about 8 minutes, until the apples are very soft.

  2. Stir in the canned pumpkin pie filling and cinnamon. Cook uncovered over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring often.

  3. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Purée the mixture in a blender until completely smooth, working in batches if needed.

  4. Return the purée to the pan over low heat. Stir in the light cream and warm through for about 4 minutes, stirring often. Do not let it boil.

  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.
