I love my mom's apple pie. Well, let's face it. I love apple pie period! However, nothing is ever more special than when it is made by mom's hands. Today I am sharing with you my mom's recipe for Mom's Apple Pie Filling that she makes a big batch of and cans for future use. I love it so much, that I am sharing it with you for #AppleWeek this year!
This is a newer recipe from my mom that she shared with me. I love to make and have Apple Pie in a Jar to have on hand throughout the year.
Mom's Apple Pie Filling also works great in other recipes. I use it to make Apple Fritters, to top pancakes, and even over ice cream!
However, I still think our favorite way to use it is in the traditional apple pie! When I made this pie it was simple as could be. I rolled out a pre-made pie crust, poured in the filling, made a crumble topping and baked at 350 until done! If you have apples this fall that you are looking to do something different with, well this is a great idea!
How would you use this filling? Be sure to check out the rest of this week's awesome apple recipes!
- 7 quarts peeled, cored and sliced apples (about 7 lbs)
- 3-½ cups sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 10 cups water
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Mix all ingredients except the apples and cook until thickened. Add 3 Tablespoons lemon juice. Fill hot sterile jars with apple slices. Pour hot mixture into jars until 1" from the top. Cover with sealing lid. Process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.

Patricia @ Brownies for Dinner
What a great idea! This would make a good gift too. I am really looking forward to apples this fall (I'm adding this to my ever-growing list of things to do with apples... not sure there will be enough apples for everything I want to do).
Now I want pie...
Jen
Looks delicious - question though - how much filling does this make? I'm assuming it should be a pint of filling per pie so I should do this in pint size jars?
HoneyB
Jen, This makes 7 quarts. 🙂
Linda

This is a perfect recipe to include in a gift basket for a Christmas gift, perhaps with a pretty pie pan attached. Thanks for the recipe.
Carlee
What a great idea, make a bunch during apple season and have a taste of fall all year long! I would definitely have to have some on pancakes, and waffles, and ice cream, and in a bowl and in a pie.... 😉
Val - Corn, Beans, Pigs and Kids
Usually I just make and can apple sauce with our apples. I'm not sure why I've never made apple pie filling! I'm going to have to try your recipe. Apple Week is so much fun!

Thanks for recipe
Tammy
I have made apple pie filling and canned before. My only problem was the cornstarch congealed in the bottom of the jar. So when I wanted to fix a pie, I just poured the filling in a pan and heated it up until the cornstarch became liquid again. Then poured in my pie shell. Does this happen to you with this recipe?
Shelby Law Ruttan
Hi Tammy, I have not had this happen to me. I'm not sure how you processed your pie filling in the past and I have only canned the apple pie filling in this particular way. ˜Shelby
