directions

Prepare apples as for pie.
Put a layer of apples and then a layer of sugar, etc.( layer over and over) until done.
Put in cool place (they had root cellars for this) overnight.
Next day place in jars.
Divide juice between jars;(from the sugar and apples comes a simple syrup and they probably filled jars rest of way with water as it has to be completely filled) cold pack 10 minutes; the apples stay in slices, do not mush and are almost like fresh apples for pie, etc.
