Re: apple pie filling
Personally, those apple pie recipes call for water, up to 10 cups and I like more apple, less filling!!!! So I cook my apples a little as I go along, with sugar to taste, maybe a cup for 6-7 cups apples, that's your choice. Add cinnamon, then whenever I get about an ice cream pail full cooked down, take some of the juice from cooked apples and sugar and thicken it with cornstarch------practice a little. If you have it too thick when you add it back to the apples, add more cooked apples; too thin, thicken a little more sauce. Then fill jars and water bath can. Sorry I can't be more specific on measures, but works for me.
