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.

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Lemon juice helps to prevent the apples from browning and adds a bit of brightness to the filling.
  • Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic apple pie spices that will add flavor to the filling.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the filling cool completely before freezing: This will help prevent the filling from becoming watery when it's thawed.

Conclusion:

Apple pie filling is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be used in a variety of pies, tarts, and other desserts. It's also a great way to use up extra apples. By following these tips, you can make a delicious apple pie filling that will freeze well and be enjoyed for months to come.
