FRESH APPLE PIE
There's nothing better than the smell of the fresh apple pie baking in the oven. It signifies the start of cozy fall days, and it's the ultimate dessert to kick off the season. This recipe uses Betty's pie crust mix so you can skip chilling your pastry dough and get right to the baking part-meaning less time waiting around for pie and more time eating it!

FRESH APPLE PIE FILLING
I found this recipe at an apple orchard YEARS ago. Don.t even think its like the pie filling in the CAN. I am going to try peaches this year. Colorado peaches THE BEST. My grand kids expect this as part of their Christmas present every year, along with a couple of QRTs of canned peaches.

Steps:
- 1. Combine all ingredients in a kettle to accomodate the amount of water. You will need to know how to process this recipe in a hot water bath.
- 2. Cook on medium until thickened. To a consistency of gravy. (Like pudding before it sets) Add your lemon juice and fruit fresh ingredients. Stir until all combined. I combine the two before adding to the filling mixture. By tasting the room temp filling you will be able to add more spices to suite your taste. For my family we cant get enough cinnamon. If not sweet enough add a little more sugar. I have not tried this recipe with artificial sweetner. I guess if i were to try any it would be part Splenda or would even try some organic raw Agave sweetner.For someone that is trying this the first time, I would stick with regular sugar. I also highly recommend using a high quality of cinnamon. My favorite is SAIGON CINNAMON Brand Gourmet collection. Much richer. You get what you pay for.
- 3. Peel and slice your apples. Harlsons are the BEST. but I know in FL. They do not have that variety Granny Smiths are your next option. I would have approx 3-4 pounds available. Have approx 6-8 quart jars cleaned.along with new lids and screw tops. Fill jars 1.5 inches from the top. Add the prepared filling. Tap bottom of jar on a soft surface to make sure air pockets are removed. Not necessary, but I am fussy when it comes to canning. Screw lid and top on tight.
- 4. Process these jars in a hot water bath for 20-25 min. Set the jars out and listen for the seal.This will keep for at least 6 months if not longer. Store in a cool environment. When it comes time to make your pie. You can be real lazy and roll out a doubl crust. like the refridgerated pillsbury brand. You dont have to bake for an hour. I typically par bake my bottom crust add the filling and bake for another 30 35 min,until the filling starts to bubble. This may sound like a lot of work, but once you make it one time. You will appreciate it. You can make this in a cobbler, or any other recipe asking for fresh apples. turnovers are great. Use your imagination. GOOD LUCK.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples: This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Peel and core your apples: This is essential for creating a smooth, even filling.
- Slice your apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a combination of sugar and flour: This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
- Add a pinch of salt: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the apples.
- Use a well-chilled pie crust: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust and a bubbly filling.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
