Freezer Apple Pie Filling 4 5 Pies

Here is an awesome recipe to use up all those apples you have! Or just a great and inexpensive way to be prepared for the holidays! When cutting the apples, I peeled them by hand and used an apple slicer/corer which gave me fairly thick chunks of apple! If you have an Apple Peeler/Slicer/Corer this will definitely speed things up but your slices will be much thinner. You will want to adjust the cooking time to about 5 minutes and the cooling with the lid to about 10-15 minutes. After the cooling period, you want to make sure your apples are not mushy… they should still have a very slight texture.

Q: Is the whole lemon mandatory or can we just use lemon juice and if so how much do we use? A: You can eliminate the lemon and zest and replace with 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Q: Will any variety of apple work in this recipe or does it have to be Granny Smith? A: Any variety will work. The key is making sure the apples don’t get too soft. Certain varieties will soften more than others, only leave them covered as long as it takes for them to soften. Once they are soft and not mushy, spoon them into the bags.
