Apple Pie Filling (For Canning)

This apple pie filling is a wonderful way to preserve the goodness of harvest time. Made with simple ingredients and care, it’s perfect for canning and ready to use in pies, crisps, or other baked treats all winter long. Or simply warm it through and ladle it onto some ice cream.

The warm spices and tender apples make it a cozy favorite when the days grow shorter. It’s a true pantry blessing that saves time in the busy seasons and brings a little taste of fall to the family table.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

4-5 cups Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1-1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 cups Perma-Flo or Therm-Flo
4-5 Quarts Chopped Apples

Instructions

Boil Together: 6 cups water, sugar, salt, Cinnamon
Mix together: 2 cups cold water, Perma-Flo or Therm-Flo
Add the Thickener/water mixture to the boiling sugar water mixture and remove from heat as soon as it thickens.
Stir in 4-6 quarts chopped apples
Ladle into jars, leaving 1.5 inches head space because the apples will expand when you water bath the jars.
Hot water bath for 20 minutes, fill your canner only to the neck of the jar to prevent siphoning.
The flavor of the apples will settle and seep into the filling over the next few weeks making the filling more tasty after about a month.
