I scaled this back to 8 servings to make the equivalent of a can of filling. I was impressed by how quick it was and i didn't even boil mine for as long as it stated. i was a little heavy handed with the cinnamon, but it tasted like apple butter so i wasn't complaining! Next time i will use flour instead of cornstarch..thats just a personal prefernce. very good recipe

this recipe tastes great and was a life saver when my boyfriend brought home 2 giant crates of apples and asked if i could do something with them. i did have to reduce the water by almost half... and instead of lemons i used orange's and about 5 table spoons of that.(boyfriend also brought about 30 oranges.)

This had a good flavor and jelled well in the pie, but I would have liked more apples and less filling. Maybe a bit "flour" tasting.

This came out great, even months later, still delicious. I used apples Jonah Gold apples straight from the orchard. I cut the liquid to 6 cups (4c. apple juice) which worked great for us. It made 4 large pies for us - got rave reviews each time, I still have one left.

I needed a can of apple pie filling last night but didn't want to go to the store. I used this recipe and had it calculated for 4 servings. It was delicious and also saved me money. Homemade was much cheaper than store bought and also had more apples in it. Good recipe! I will definetely use this again.

I had about 9 cups of apples that were from my grandmas back yard. I had read other peoples reviews and so I cut way back on the water. I only used four cups and I also used my slow cooker. After about 3 hours my house smelled wonderful! The kids were eating right out of the slow cooker. I let my apple filling cool and then scooped it into individual ziploc baggies. I placed them in the freezer and now when I make pancakes for the kids I unthaw a bag and pour it over thier pancakes. Delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!

After carefully looking through recipies for this, I choose this one, but used others suggestions. I only used 8 cups of water because I had orchard apples. This came out soooooo good. To save space (and containers) I storred them in heavy duty zip top bags and put all of the small bags into a larger freezer bag, so they are all in the same place. If this tastes the same after freezing as it does now, I will be using this recipe every year!!!

Very simple and easy to make. Time is all-lots of peeling and slicing. I used 26 apples, only 4 cups water, 1/2 brown and 1/2 white, extra cinnamon and nutmeg. Smells wonderful. Tastes the same. The kids want to just eat it out of the pot! I used a stock pot since that was all I had, worked well, just needed longer to cook. I am going to use this to make an apple pancake, also from this site. Also plan on using for topping for french toast. I won't actually be making any pies! family does not like them. There was a bunch of extra fluid, even reducing it as much as I did. I let it continue to cook down after removing the apples, I now have a nice jar of apple syrup! Ready for those pancakes and french toast!

This an easy pie filling when you want to make just a few batches. I scales it down to 10 servings which was exactly right for two pies. I made it a few days in advance and kept it in the fridge for my company so I can't so how well it freezes; however, it did do very well in the fridge and made great pies!

Recipe is very easy and tastes very well. I did though add a bit more cinnamon to the recipe. Can't wait to make a pie out of this filling.

5 Stars with only 3-4 cups of water. I read other reviews and cut the water down to 4 cups to 18 cups of apples and you could still reduce to 3 cups. Easy to make and turned out great, I used a variety of apples from many different neighbors and it tasted great in the end. I also reduced the sugar to 2 cups as I wanted something on the less sweet side. A great recipe.

I have made this several times, and it's always been great. I do think that the recipe as it's stated has too much sauce for the amount of apples, so I cut the liquid amount in half and use more apples than called for.
