Recipe type: Stockpile
Ingredients
  • 24 apples approximately, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1⁄2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 3 1⁄2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 5 cups water
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl toss the apples together with the lemon juice (this prevents browning); set aside.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or cast iron pot combine the water with the sugars, cornstarch and spices and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Continue boiling & stirring for 2-3 minutes, the mix should get considerably thick.
  3. Add apples, stir to cover and coat, return to boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until apples are tender but not mushy.
  4. Cool in pot for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to release heat.
  5. Separate into 5 freezer safe Ziploc bags or containers or fill empty pie pans with filling and freeze. Once frozen remove pie filling and seal in a freezer safe bag. This method allows you to easily pop out frozen pie filling, place in a premade piecrust and bake from frozen. If you plan on using the pie filling for other desserts freeze separately in bags.
  6. Use as desired.
