"My go to recipe for canning apples for later use. The kids tell me it tastes like McDonald's apple pie but i wouldn't go so far as to call it a copycat. I love that it uses cornstarch for gelling rather than actual gelatin as this reduces the cost of processing large amounts of fruit. Note: I qt of filling equals 1 9 in pie"
