Homemade Apple Pie Filling
Ingredients
  • 18 cups thinly sliced apples
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 10 cups water
  • 4 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Carefully place apples in a large mixing container. Mix the apples with lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly coated and set aside for later use.
3
Heat water in a large cooking vessel over medium heat. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the water, stirring constantly until well combined. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and maintain this temperature for 2 minutes, stirring frequently throughout.
4
Introduce the apples to the boiling mixture and return it to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat, cover the container, and allow the apples to simmer until they are tender, typically taking 6 to 8 minutes.
5
Allow the mixture to cool for a period of 30 minutes before proceeding.
6
Divide the cooled mixture into 5 freezer containers, leaving a small gap of about half an inch at the top. Allow the mixture to cool further at room temperature, but no longer than 1 and a half hours.
7
Seal the containers tightly to prevent leakage and freeze immediately.
8
The prepared mixture can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months.
