Apple Pie Filling
Ingredients
  • 4 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 10 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 drops yellow food coloring
  • 6 pounds apples
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients and materials required for the recipe.
2
Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg in a large saucepan. Gradually add water, salt, and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
3
Place the mixture on high heat and bring it to a rolling boil. Continue cooking until the syrup thickens and becomes bubbly, indicating that it has reached the desired consistency.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat source and stir in lemon juice and food coloring to achieve the desired color.
5
Sterilize canning jars, lids, and rings by submerging them in boiling water. Peel, core, and slice apples into thin pieces.
6
Fill the hot canning jars with packed apple slices, leaving a 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during processing.
7
Pour hot syrup into the canning jars, and use a knife to gently remove any air bubbles that may have formed.
8
Place the lids on the jars and process them in a water bath canner for 25 minutes, or until they reach the required level of sterilization.
9
Once processed, your homemade apple syrup is ready to be enjoyed.
