Apple Pie (Filling) in a Jar

"My children's school used this recipe as a fundraiser at Thanksgiving. It went over really well! The recipe is from a friend's 4H cookbook. I used it to make apple crisp. Easy and yummy! Can be doubled."

  1. This is a GREAT canning project, and it actually worked! Made the best pie and was rated my best applecrisp by my husband and dad!
     
  2. Very good recipe w/easy to follow directions. I cooked my pie for about 1 hour 20 minutes and everyone was coming back for seconds. I did add extra cimmamon , some ginger and all spice.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. Very good recipe. It was direct and to the point. 4H Recipies are usually very good, and this one supports that.
