CANNED APPLE PIE FILLING



Canned Apple Pie Filling image

I got this recipe for the USDA on canning. It does not say to give a water bath so I don't think this recipe needs it, but if you want to, do it about 25 minutes in hot water bath.

Provided by southern chef in lo

Categories     Apple

Time 55m

Yield 7 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 quarts blanched sliced fresh apples
5 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups clear gelatin
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups cold water
5 cups apple juice
3/4 cup bottled lemon juice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
7 drops yellow food coloring

Steps:

  • Use firm crisp apples, such as golden delicious, Rome or other apples of similar quality.
  • Wash, peel and core the apples. Slice them about 1/2 inch wide and place in water containing ascorbic acid to prevent browning. Blanch 2 quarts at a time for 1 minute in boiling water. While blanching other apples, keep ones already blanched in covered pot to keep warm.
  • Combine the sugar, clear gelatin and cinnamon in large pot with the water and apple juice, food coloring and nutmeg. Stir and cook on medium high heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
  • Drain the apple slices from the water, reserving water.
  • Add lemon juice to water mixture and boil 1 minute more. Fold in the apple slices immediately and fill jars with mixture. Clean the rims and seal the jars.

FROZEN APPLE PIE FILLING RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Frozen Apple Pie Filling Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 to 8 cups sliced apples (thin)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 to 1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter cut into chunks

Steps:

  • Take a Ziplock bag and dump in everything except the apples and lemon juice and butter. Hold the top of the bag and shake it up really good. . (I did 10 of these bags at a shot, and let the kids help me, since they would just measure the same thing over and over into each bag) Peel, core and slice your apples and dump them into the bag. Chop the butter up into chunks (I tried to get at least 8 chunks.. it helps to freeze the butter before chopping it up) and dump that in the bag. Zip it shut with lots of air and flip the bag over and shake it all really good until everything is coated well. Open the bag, pour in the lemon juice, squish it around and suck all the air out of the bag with a straw and zip it shut. Squish it flat and lay it flat in the freezer. Don't wait until all the bags are done before putting them in the freezer.... they get WAY to juicy.. and don't pour the lemon juice ON the apples before putting in the bag, because then the mix in the bag doesn't coat the apples well. When you want pie, take it out and lay flat on the counter for about 30 minutes (covering with a warm wet t-towel helps speed it along) OR in the fridge over night. Squish it around to make sure the butter is evenly distributed and dump in a 9" regular raw pie shell & cover with a crust. Set the pie on a drip pan (you WILL need it) and bake as you would a normal pie (I did about 20 minutes at 400°F, and then 45 at 325°F). It takes approximately 9 apples to make a pie, and we used about a bushel to do 20+ pies. \

APPLE PIE FILLING



Apple Pie Filling image

Many apple pies call for simply tossing cut apples with sugar, adding a thickening agent and some spices, and plopping it all into a crust. But precooking the apples has multiple advantages: First, it draws out some of their juices, to ensure consistency. (No undercooked apples or runny filling here!) And, second, it prevents the filling from sinking away from the crust as it cools, leaving a pocket of air between filling and crust. Use this all-purpose filling in a traditional pie, tiny hand-held pies, or in a cobbler. It can be made several days ahead, leaving just assembling and baking.

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 cups (enough for 1 9-inch pie)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
6 to 8 medium apples, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Gala, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 6 1/2 cups/1 kilogram)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup/220 grams light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/45 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, tossing to coat in the butter. Add lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the apples start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour. Add to the pot and stir well to combine. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Let the filling cool completely before using. (You can speed this process up by spreading it into an even layer on a baking sheet.) The filling will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

ROSY CRABAPPLE OR APPLE PIE FILLING - (FREEZE OR CAN)



Rosy Crabapple or Apple Pie Filling - (Freeze or Can) image

This excellent recipe was passed to me along with a pail of the smaller apple crabs. It works great with the fall apples too - especially those not requiring peeling ... works well with any baking apple. I use this with the larger fall apples - some of which do require peeling. When dealing with large quantities of the fall apple crop I double and triple this, refrigerating while preparing pastry using recipe#89861 - soon have an assembly line going. In short order have pies prepared then go on to making and freezing pie filler for the winter months with the rest of the apples. This does freeze well.Have canned a good many jars but find freezing gives me an equally good product with far less work.

Provided by Gerry

Categories     Dessert

Time 19m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups of sliced unpeeled crabapples or 6 cups fall apples
1/3 cup water (I use 2/3 cup of water)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (I usually use Realemon)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In large pot steam sliced apples 1- 2 minutes.
  • Cool 1- 2 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and pie filler is ready to use.
  • Hint When dealing with large quantities of apples I prepare double and triple batches of the pie filler, cool and set into the fridge while preparing the pastry.
  • I find using the recipe 'Lemon Tang Pastry' which was passed to me as no-fail pastry works so very well making the preparation of pies for the freezer a snap.
  • Time depends on how fast you can prepare the apples, those with experience do get throught prep time quickly!

CARAMEL APPLE PIE FILLING (OAMC)



Caramel Apple Pie Filling (Oamc) image

This is a recipe that my husband came up with when we had a lot of apples after apple picking several years ago. It has become a family favorite and one that we look forward to making after what has become a fun annual family outing at a beautiful orchard. We like using a combination of at least two or three varieties of apples for flavor and texture. Our favorite combination is Macintosh, Jonagold, and Granny Smith. I double or triple this recipe to can or freeze to use later in pies, over ice cream, on my oatmeal, or straight up, but it is so good it doesn't last long.

Provided by UrbanYogaMommy

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 quart, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lbs apples, peeled cored, and sliced (about 7 apples)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (use the best quality you can afford, it makes a real difference)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly ground
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and slice apples. Should be about 6 cups of apples when sliced. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Cover or place into a resealable bag and allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes.
  • In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Stir frequently. Heat on medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Add salt.
  • Add apple mixture and all of the juices. Allow mixture to come to a gentle boil, lower heat and allow to simmer, stirring often, until the firmest apples start to soften. Cooking time can be adjusted to suit your preference for apple texture. My family likes their apples on the softer side, so I let it cook until the firmest apples are fork tender.
  • If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir through. Let this simmer a bit longer because the cornstarch will not thicken unless the liquid is at a boil.
  • Ladle into a prepared quart jar with at least 1" headspace and proceed with sealing. Or ladle into a container for freezing. 1 quart will fill one pie generously.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Different apples have different flavors and textures, so choose the best ones for your filling. For a tart filling, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples. For a sweeter filling, use Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples.
  • Peel and core the apples: This is a crucial step, as it removes the tough skin and seeds from the apples. Use a sharp knife to peel the apples and a corer to remove the seeds.
  • Slice the apples evenly: This will help to ensure that the filling cooks evenly. Use a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin, even slices.
  • Add sugar and spices: The amount of sugar and spices you add will depend on your personal preferences. However, a good starting point is to add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of each of the following spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Cook the filling until it thickens: This will typically take about 15-20 minutes. Stir the filling occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Let the filling cool before using: This will help to prevent the filling from making your pie crust soggy.

Apple filling is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts, from pies and tarts to muffins and cakes.
