CANNED APPLE PIE FILLING

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.

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.

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Sterilize your jars, lids, and bands for canning. Fill your large pot half full of water and bring to a simmer.

  • Remove from heat and add lemon juice and stir well. Add hot syrup to each jar, leaving about a 1 inch space at the top.
  • Wipe off each jar rim, add the sterilized lid and band, then add to the simmering water. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of water on top of jars. Bring to a roiling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 minutes.
  • Remove jars and let them cool on a towel for 24 hours. Check to be sure each lid is sealed by pressing down in the center.

My mother made this one Thanksgiving and I ended up snatching most of it. One of the best tasting pies out there, in my opinion. The crust was taught to me by my Amish grandmother and easy to make.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅔ cup oil
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
2 cups frozen cranberries, sorted and rinsed
2 cups chopped apples
⅔ cup white sugar
3 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine oil and milk in a liquid measuring cup; stir to combine.
  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl; mix together with a fork. Add oil mixture and mix until well combined. Press a little more than 1/2 of the crust mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie plate, using a spatula if necessary, as mixture will crumble easily.
  • Combine cranberries and apples in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, flour, and lemon juice; mix until fruit is evenly coated. Pour filling into the pie plate and crumble remaining crust mixture over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and crumb topping is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. This will make the process easier and help to prevent the apples from browning.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of bottled lemon juice instead.
  • Be sure to use fresh apple cider. Do not use apple juice or apple cider vinegar.
  • If you don't have a water bath canner, you can use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Just be sure that the jars are completely covered with water during the processing time.
  • Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.

Conclusion:

Amish Canning Apple Pie Filling is a delicious and easy way to preserve your apples for later use. This filling can be used in pies, cobblers, muffins, and other desserts. It's also a great way to add a touch of sweetness to your oatmeal or yogurt. With a little planning and effort, you can enjoy the taste of fresh apples all year long.
