Apple Pie Filling
"This is one of my favorite recipes and it is so easy to make. I use the apples off my own trees and the skins are so tender that I never have to peel. This is so nice to have on hand especially if unexpected company shows, you can whip up an apple crisp in no time."

Oh my, this was so good and very easy to make! I used pears because the apples were not ready on the tree and the galahs, parrots, rosellas and magpies were all fighting for the pears. The recipe was so simple to put together and the instructions were so easy to follow. I think I will be using this recipe again with the apples. I changed to serving size to make four cups of fruit and I ended up with two large jars and enough for Recipe #137128 . Thank you Saudie -
I used this recipe and substituted fuji apples. It was wonderful. Try it with crepes as a great filling!!!

While using cornstarch is good I have used Hoosier clear gel (cooking one) if canning a lot.

Hi! I love to laugh and enjoy having fun. I love meeting people with same interest in cooking as myself. I live in small town Saskatchwan. I'm married and have two adult children thirty and twenty eight. I like to cook and try new recipes. My favorite things to cook is yeast breads,cinnamon buns,yummy desserts and anything chicken. My weakness is collecting cookbooks and cooking magazines.I sit and read a cookbook like someone would read a novel in the evening. I even enjoy making treats for my granddog. The most fun about cooking is the sharing.?I love to share what I make!
