Ingredients
- 12 cups (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples
- 4.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 10 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your canning equipment: Wash and sterilize your canning jars, lids, and bands. Keep them warm until ready to use.
Step 2
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Set them aside in a large bowl with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
In a large pot, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Gradually add water while stirring to prevent clumps from forming.
Step 4
Cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil.
Step 6
Remove the pot from heat and carefully fold in the prepared apple slices, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the mixture.
Step 7
Ladle the apple pie filling into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
Step 8
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the rims of the jars, ensuring a good seal. Place the lids and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight.
Step 9
Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 25 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
Step 10
Carefully remove jars and let them cool completely on a towel or cooling rack for 12-24 hours. Check the seals before storing.
Step 11
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Enjoy your canned apple pie filling in your favorite desserts or as a standalone treat!
