2008-Oct-8 - Apple Pie Filling
Apple Pie Filling
18 cups baking apples, peeled & sliced (about 6 lbs.)
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cups brown sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
8 cups water
In a large bowl mix the apples together with the lemon juice to keep
them from browning. Set aside. In a large pot combine brown sugar,
cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add water and bring to a boil
over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for two minutes. Add
apples (you may want to drain off some of the lemon juice, but I
think it adds a nice flavor) and return to a boil. Reduce heat,
cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Have
your quart jars and lids hot and ready. Pack each jar with the
filling to ½ inch from the top. Screw down lids. Process in hot
water bath for 20 minutes. Makes about 5 quarts.
Our Apples are allllllllmost ready and I hope to make pie filling and applesauces, along with apple CHIPS in the dehydrator too!
Lovvvvvvvvve Fall!
Enjoy~

I like to make this!!! I posted a recipe a litle whiel ago - I reduce sugar and use 100% apple juice concentrate to sweeten without the refined sugar added - just an idea - it's a wonderful warm winter evening treat!!! :0)

I'm canning apple pie filling today, Lord willing, and we LOVE dehydrated apples. I cheat and put a little cinnamon and sugar on them before I stick them in the dehydrator. Still better than potato chips.
