This is a wonderful apple pie filling that you make in the fall when apples are in abundance. During the winter months, just pull a package of pie filling from the freezer, defrost, and pour into your favorite pie crust. This makes enough filling for 4 pies. Ingredients:
16 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
4 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 cups white sugar |
1 cup cornstarch |
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon salt |
8 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and set aside.
2. Pour water into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add to water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add apples and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
4. Ladle into 4 freezer containers or gallon freezer bags, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cool at room temperature no longer than 1 1/2 hours.
5. Seal and freeze. Can be stored for up to 12 months.
6. You can also make pies right away.
