I made these on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The house smelled like apple pie. I ran out of quart jars and had some left over so I cooked the apple filling until it was thicker and the apples were softened. I then put the balance into pint size jars and named it apple pie ice cream topping. It was sublime. Excellent recipe.
