Here are two of the apple canning recipes I've done this year:
Apple Pie Filling
Per Quart:
5 apples
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. corn starch
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 c. water
3/4 c. apple juice
2 TBSP lemon juice
Core,
peel and slice apples. Place in boiling water for 1 minute. Set aside
and keep hot. Boil remaining ingredients until desired thickness. I
barely let mine reach a full boil. Fill hot sterilized quart jars
alternating apples and syrup until it is almost full. Run a knife down
the side to remove air bubbles. Add more apples and syrup. Process 25
minutes. I've been making this recipe for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it! It makes the best apple crisp!
Apple Crisp
1 qt apple pie filling
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oats
1/4 c. butter, melted
Pour the pie filling into a pan. Mix remaining ingredients well and sprinkle over the top of filling. Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes until golden.
Pretty Pink Apples in Red Hot Syrup
About 20 good-sized apples
1 c. red hots candies
2 c. sugar
1 tsp ginger
3 c. apple juice
1 1/2 c. white vinegar
2/3 c. corn syrup
Core,
peel and slice apples. Place in boiling water for 1 minute. Set aside
and keep hot. Heat remaining ingredients until red hots melt (seems to be about the same time it reaches a boil). Fill hot sterilized jars with apples and top with syrup until it is almost full. Run a knife down
the side to remove air bubbles. Add more apples and syrup until full. Process 15 minutes for pints and 25
minutes for quarts. I ended up with 8 pints of apples (although it was in varying sized jars).
I've always wanted to try a red hots syrup since it's a 1950s recipe and I love vintage recipes. I was not disappointed! I altered the recipe quite a bit to be yummier, but used the basic idea. These would make fabulous gifts!

This is probably a dumb question: What would you make with the Red Hot Apples? I want to make it just not to sure what to do with them after I do.
Thanks

I know it sounds crazy but I have done this pie filling recipe with zucchini. I just peeled it, cut it lengthwise scooped out the seeds then sliced it. It even looks like apple slices. If you are low on fruit....just an idea :)
How long with the feelings stay good for in the jars and can u freeze them and if so how long in freezer
We eat the red hot apples right out of the jar like you'd eat canned peaches or pears.
They're also good warmed up and topped with whipped cream or ice cream :)
With pears in season could you use pears instead of apples? If not do you have any recipes for pears? I have already made pear halves and pear preserves. Would like a pear pie filling recipe.
Is this done in a water bath or pressure canned?
You are my new best friend! Thank you for sharing your love of canning!
I want to make the Apple Pie Filling, but noticed that your recipe is for one quart. I would like to make at least 4 quarts at a time. Can I quadruple the recipe and have it come out the same? I know some recipes you can't
You can adapt it for however many quarts you need. Last week I did 14 quarts and just got out my calculator to do the math... the recipe is perfect because you can make it as big or small as you like.
I made the apple crisp tonight and my husband and I loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe. I also would like to know are there any other recipes for the cinnamon apples?
