Apple Pie Filling

So our apple tree was loaded this year. This has been our first good year of apples. Last year we got 3 apples. This year it was buckets and buckets. So what is a girl to do? But to make apple pie filling, and applesauce and we will see what else comes to mind as I go.

Here is the finished apple pie filling. It smells amazing.

Apple Pie Filling

Core and slice apples and place in water as you go.

This makes about 7 quarts of apple pie filling.

6 quarts of sliced apples

5 cups of sugar

1 1/2 cups clear-gel

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 1/2 cups water

5 cups apple juice

3/4 cup lemon juice

I toss it all into a pot until it boils, I load up the jars and bwb for 25 minutes. Here is a good link to some good photos and how to's.

Enjoy.
