Lorry–Hi! Here is one recipe that looks promising. You could adjust the size of the batch: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Pie-Filling-II/Detail.aspx
Does this sound like what you were looking for?

I made apple pie filling last year for the first time, canned a TON of it. My Mom wants us to do this again, and I have misplaced the recipe. It called for Tapioca instead of cornstarch- do you know how I would substitute tapioca??
Thanks

Renee–Thank you. You could freeze this, too. And, thanks, I love my stove. It’s built like a tank and I know it’s just on the verge of coming back into style any day now.

I came across your site looking how to make pre-made pie filling, I was looking for a version I can freeze, I’m not into canning yet : ) but your’s sure looks tastey!

ps – I love your stove, very retro : ) (at least, I’m assuming it’s a stove?)

Hello, I made this recipe last year, and I am going to use it again this year. It was the best pie filling I had ever tried making, and it tasted very good as well. I would recommend this to anyone. My friends at work have been asking when I will be making pies again with the apples off my tree. Thanks for the great recipe.

Jane Gray Marcella–Your farm sounds idyllic. I hope you have good results with the pie filling you develop. I love tapioca in fruit pies. I know it will be delicious!
P.S. My great aunt made her pies from fruit she dried on the roof (West TX). Somehow I don’t think the health department nowadays would condone that, but her pies were the best!

I enjoyed your website….we farm in Glenn county, CA along the Sacramento river near Chico. We are surrounded by dairies and orchards. We farm almonds and Gravenstein apples. I am no longer willing to pay the electric bill for storing our frozen apples that we bake into pies for our little bakery business, so was researching the putting-up of apples in the form of premade pie filling. I always pre-cook my frozen apples for pie fillings, add some tapioca flour, butter, brown sugar and spices and fill the crust right out of the pan. Our pies are wonderful, but I am longing to be able to merely open a jar, add the butter and bake without the pre-cooking/thawing procedure. Thanks for the input…..Jane Gray Marcella, BRIARGATE FARMS.

[...] I’ve never made a pie from canned filling, so this was a new experience all around. I found a recipe online, cleaned and sterilized the jars, and started processing the apples using the handy [...]

My mouth is watering! I have 8more baby pounds before I can try the apple pie, though! Blackberry jam also on the to-do list!
Love the website…wonder if you gals could do a question/answer on vege gardening problems-like why my tomatoes appeared to have split open before ripe…or maybe a link to Carl Wayne Hardeman (he’s the head of the community garden in C’ville).
Anyhoo, keep up the good work!
