We tried this recipe, and it's THE BEST apple pie filling we've Ever had! Everyone that tried it wants us to make them a pie. It's very easy, makes a gorgeous presentation in the jar and taste OUT OF THIS WORLD! THANKS! I'll use this recipe from now on.

This is awesome! YUMMM I added all spice and ground cloves too. I did end up short on the filling of 7 Qts., but I think I could have packed the apples a bit more.

I made this twice last fall with a girlfriend. I think we have it down to a science now! We doubled the cinn. spice and added lots of nutmeg. The owner of the apple orchard helped us with choosing apples. The crisper the better. I think we may have used regent? Gave as Christmas gifts to teachers and coworkers. Very very good. We are also from cranberry country and added craisens to a few jars before filling. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was a lot of fun to make, and baking it into a pie, WOW it was so yummy. I'll be making this as gifts from now on.

I made this recipe after reading other reviews on it. I doubled the amount of cinnamon and used 7 cups of apple juice + 3 cups of water. The first time I made it I used the amount of cornstartch called for. It was a little thinner than what I would have liked. I made it again using 1 1/2 cups Clear Jel starch instead of the cornstarch. It was great. I then made it two more times and gave it out for Christmas gifts. Everyone really liked it!

Great recipe make sure you really stuff the jars full of apples otherwise when you make the pie it'll have more juice and liquid that you want

I always get compliments when I serve the pie made from this recipe! I add a little less water because the first batch I made was just watery enough to make the crust a little mushy. This past time, I added 8 1/2 cups of water, and it was definitely better.

Wonderful recipe. I plan on decorating the jars and giving them away for Christmas. Thanks so much.

I followed the advice of the others and increased the spices. I made my first pie today with the canned filling and it was fabulous! Thanks so much!

I would have given this 5 stars but it uses cornstarch and I prefer using something called Clear Jel it can be purchased on the Internet give it a try it is far superior in the looks and texture also it holds up better than the cornstarch. The apples will still be crisp when you open the jar but leave the jars sit a few months before opening them they have better flavor the longer it sits the better it tastes. I add additional cinnamon and some pumpkin pie spice to mine and I do not use the nutmeg since it's not my favorite spice. I quart works nicely for a pie or for an 8x8 pan of apple crisp. I always use 1 inch of head space for this because otherwise it will boil over on you and the jars won't want to seal properly.

I use this to make apple pie and my husband swears it makes the best! Claim it as homemade because it is! I don't change a thing in the recipe! This is much better than canned apple pie filling! Enjoy!

I am happy to have found this recipe and have added it to my collection. I used Macintosh apples and cut back the amount of water to 8 1/2 cups. I use a large pie plate for making pies so my yield was 3 - half gallon jars and one gallon jar.

this is a great recipe. i can only do so much with canned apple sauce.so this is a great way to use all those apples you get in the fall.this is also good on top of pancakes.

I had problems with the canning of this. I couldn't get all the air bubbles out and the headspace allotment still made the liquid ooze out. My syrup was really really thick. I am wondering if less cornstarch would be better as once I added it, a lot of the flavor went away.???????

This is the recipe my mom uses, so of course I've used it as well. I like a little more flavor to mine. I like to use apple cider in place of the water. I then reduce the amount of sugar to 3 1/2 cups. I use 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, plus a splash of vanilla. I also cook the bite-size sliced apples in the mixture, just until they are a little soft, before filling the bottles. To each their own!

Seems like a good recipe!

This is a pretty good recipe. I cut the number of servings down to 14 because I didn't have a lot of apples on hand. It made 3 jars for me. I added more spices, including allspice and ginger. I think next time I would use less sugar. I used a pressure cooker to cook mine. It will be nice at Thanksgiving when I can just dump this into a crust but still call it homemade from scratch. Thanks for the recipe.
