APPLE PIE FILLING - CANNED OR YOU CAN FREEZE IT!
This is such a handy recipe to have during apple season! This filling is AMAZING! Just can a bunch of apple pie filling and those apple pies for Thanksgiving and Chrstmas will take you no time at all. Just make a crust and bake! It also works great for cobbler, or just heated up with some vanilla ice cream. Just a note: If you are baking an apple pie with this canned pie filling, bake it at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for another 40 minutes. The apples are already cooked.

Steps:
- Steralize 6 quart jars if canning by washing them with soap and water and putting them in the oven at 215 degrees for a minimun of 15 minutes. They can stay in the oven until you are ready to take them out.
- Peel, core and slice apples. (Leave slices about 1/2 inch thick).
- Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch and salt in large pot.
- Add water and cook on high heat, stirring frequently at first and then constantly until it boils. Let it boil for about a minute, at this point it should be nice and thick.
- Stir in lemon juice and food coloring.
- Pack apples in hot jars and fill jars with sauce just to the bottom rung of the mouth of the jar. I use a wooden spoon to push the apples down. DO NOT FILL THEM ANY HIGHER! THEY WILL EXPLODE!
- Yes, it happened to me! :(.
- Process jars in hot water bath for 20 minutes or freeze however you want to.
ROSY CRABAPPLE OR APPLE PIE FILLING - (FREEZE OR CAN)
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.

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!

Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe apples for the best texture and flavor.
- Peel and core the apples before slicing them, to save time and effort.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples evenly, so they cook evenly.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to the apples to prevent them from browning.
- Use a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to add flavor to the pie filling.
- If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking, to create a golden brown crust.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving, so the filling has time to set.
- Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
