Only gets 3 stars due to the directions, but it is a good basic recipe to use for reference. I found that by mixing the cornstarch with the dry ingredients, it will end up clumping in the end product. To prevent this, I simply add the cornstarch with some of the cold liquid and stir until smooth. Bring other ingredients (minus the apples) to a boil then add the cornstarch mixture and stir constantly. Bring to rolling boil & continue stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat & alternately add apples & filling into sterile jars.

used this for a cupcake filling, so I scaled it to 4 servings and diced the apples (I used 1 granny smith and 1 gala). I omitted the food dye, but followed the rest exactly- PERFECT! The amount was perfect for 14 cupcakes (made from Applesace Cake IV by Corwynn- this site) and the taste was just what I was looking for! Can't wait to use this in the fall for canning!

This is the best way to save the apples from my tree in the back yard. I need 2 jars for my pie dish that is rather deep. Has made a great hostess gift in the past as well.

This was my first attempt at canning pie filling and it was fairly simple to do and a few months after canning I made a pie and it was delicious! I didn't change a thing on the recipe. I used Honey Crisp apples from a fruit stand, so it might turn out differently depending on the type of apple you use.

I made this to fill turnovers and strudels. worked beautifully, a few changes- I used 3 cups of pasturized cider and 5 cups water, also extra cinnamon and a dash of cloves. I diced the apples and added them to the sauce and then chilled the mix since I wasn't canning it. a nice thick sauce, much better than store with a homemade flavor. will try again and freeze some.

I have never rated or reviewed a recipe until now. I totally had to this time. This recipe is super easy and tastes great! I had never thought of canning apple pie filling, how silly huh?! Well I am sooooo glad I did! I made a pie out of it about 3 weeks after I canned it. Let me tell u, it was divine! My husband and son almost ate it all in one sitting. =D I will continue to do this for yrs to come, and I plan on passing it on to my children. What an awesome thing! Thank you for sharing!

I followed the directions exactly and I am an avid canner, so I decided to give this recipe a try. I think this was an ok jumping off point, but at the same time the first batch was a waste of ingredients. The syrup set up as a jelly consistancy in the jar, but did not hold up in the actual pie. I would suggest reading all suggestions on here before following the directions as is. I made so many changes that I am not going to list because that would be an altogether different recipe.

Easy, straight-forward recipe. Taste your apples and syrup first to adjust flavors before canning. 1 inch headspace worked best on my batch. Note about the clear jel: yes, it works. Cornstarch is still safe, however: if your jars and the bath canner come to a boil, then they are at the correct temp to sterilize.
