List of Ingredients




28 C Apples, peeled, sliced
1/4  t  Nutmeg
  4 1/2 C Sugar
  1  t Salt
  1 C Cornstarch
  10 C  Water (see note below)
  2 t  Cinnamon
  3  T  Lemon Juice

Recipe



Pack apple slices tightly in quart jars. Make a syrup from sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Add lemon juice, seal and process jars in water bath canner for 20 minutes.

Note: You can also dry pack the apple pie filling; the juices from the apples will be all you need during the canning process.

Variation: Line pie plate with aluminum foil and pour nearly 3/4 full of pie filling. Cover, and freeze. Filling will retain shape once frozen. Wrap in a second layer of aluminum foil and label. When you are ready to make your pie, just place pre-formed filling into a pie shell, cover with top pie crust, and you are ready to bake.

Yield:  "7 quarts"
