Here is a yummy and easy recipe for apple pie filling that you can store in your freezer!
Ingredients:
20 - 22 cups peeled and chopped apple slices (I used a mix of tart apples)
3 T. lemon juice
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 Cup cornstarch
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
8 cups water
In a large bowl toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Pour water into the largest pot you have, I'm not sure how big mine was but it was my biggest one. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add to water, stir well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly (I didn't actually stir it constantly, but pretty often). Add apples and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender (about 6-8 minutes). Cool. Ladle into freezer containers or freezer bags, leaving 1/2 inch space for expansion. Seal and freeze. Can be stored for up to 12 months. (One batch made about 6 freezer quart bags)
