in the ball home preserving book, they call for Clear Jel, which is impossible to find except for online, and the prices are ridiculous since it’s about $2 per lb in the stores. my question is, does using regular cornstarch end up breaking down and creating a watery filling? i’ve been told regular cornstarch can’t always handle being heated at a high temp repeatedly. Thanks for your answers!

I have a recipe for Apple Pie Filling in a Jar. Several years ago, when my oldest kids were small, I decided to try and make some. I was starting nursing school in the fall, and knew I wouldn’t have time for such things after that point. It was my first attempt at canning and I thought it looked so very pretty in the jars, that I entered my attempt in the local county fair. And…I won! First place!

I have worked as a nurse now for the past 15 years, and don’t always have time to can anymore, but wish I did. What memories you have brought back to me with this recipe. Maybe this fall I can try again with my youngest (now 7) by my side. She loves to help me in the kitchen!

Thanks so much for posting. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes!

The recipe makes about 4 – 5 quarts. It also depends on how thin you slice your apples. The thinner the better but not paper thin.

This looks delicious! About how many jars does this recipe make? Can’t wait for fall and apples, apples, apples!

This would make a lovely gift. Since one of the traditional foods for Rosh Hashana is apples I think I will make some for my daughters to give them this holiday season.

Thanks for the recipe.

I canned some apple pie filling a few years ago, but I didn’t have a recipe, I just winged it. Thank you, -I’m excited to try this when the apples are ready in the fall.
