Steps:
- Combine apples and sugar in a large saucepan. Mix together, then let stand until juice starts to be released from apples. Place over medium-high heat and stir frequently until mixture comes to a boil. Boil hard 1 minute, continuing to stir frequently.
- Mix tapioca, cinnamon, and lemon juice into apples. Boil hard for 1 minute more, continuing to stir. Pack mixture into a sterilized quart jar, a spoonful at a time, ensuring that there are no air bubbles in mixture. Secure sterilized lid.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stock pot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jar into pot using a holder. If processing more than one jar, leave a 2 inch space between jars. Add more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
- Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid doesn't move up or down at all). Can be stored up to one year.

APPLE FILLING FOR PIES
After just making this again I think some may find the filling too thick so I am changing the instructions to say 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch. We like our apples diced so it takes 3-4 large apples to achieve 4 cups. I also used the micro.this time stirring every couple minutes. No chance of burning on the bottom that way.

APPLE PIE FILLING
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.

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.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of apples in your pie filling. A combination of tart and sweet apples will give you a well-balanced flavor.
- Peel and slice your apples evenly so they will cook evenly in the pie filling.
- Be sure to add enough sugar to your pie filling. The sugar will help to draw out the juices from the apples and create a thick, syrupy filling.
- If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it before adding the pie filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When baking your apple pie, start it in a hot oven (425°F) for 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent the filling from bubbling over. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Conclusion:
Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust and a sweet, tart filling, it's no wonder that apple pie is a favorite of people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make the best apple pie that you've ever tasted. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
