RHONDA'S CANNED APPLE PIE FILLING
I found this recipe on Allrecipe.com. My first time making it, so there may be adjustments as time goes by. Looks like a nice, rich pie filling. In the original recipe, it calls for 4 1/2 c. white sugar, and because I'm keeping refined sugar out of our diet as much as possible, I've substituted 2 c. honey. That may get revised after this attempt, but so far my experience has been that honey in half or less of the amount of sugar called for is about right. After reading the comments folks had left on the recipe I tweaked the amounts on the spices as well. We'll see how this turns out. I'm a rookie canner.
