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)
- 3-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 10 cups water
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 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.

Mmmm! I will take a slice with some ice cream!
Looks great! I can't *wait* to make the first apple pie of the season!

Nothing says home like a slice of apple pie Shelby.
Love this idea! So much better than fruit from a can at the store! The pie looks fabulous!
Congrats winners! Great idea!
Your pie looks wonderful! I love that kind of topping on my apple pie. Looks perfect!
Looks yummy Shelby and a handy way to keep apple filling on hand and ready to use as needed.
So tickled I won the magazine subscription… thanks!
Congrats to the winners!
Love the idea of apple pie in a jar! Looks delicious!
yum! brilliant! 🙂 thank you
Oh my Shelby, looks delicious. So comfort food. Great choice.
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…
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?
Jen, This makes 7 quarts. 🙂
There is nothing better than apple pie!!
Ohh apple pie a heavenly sweetness!!
Have a great and sweet week,
Gera
I can't wait for fresh apples…I love baking with them and smelling the wonderful aromas! Of course, the eating is good too!
I'm drooling over your pie right now…it's sooo yummy looking.
In a jar? That's interesting!
Ooooh! I really want to do this! What a great gift item!! Thanks for sharing!
I just found your blog and I love it! You've got so many yummy recipes 🙂
-Mini Baker
ps. pie sounds soooo delish right now!

Love apple pie. This looks so good! I will have to try this recipe.
Shelby,
Nothing says fall like Apple Pie. Looks fabulous. I need to challenge myself and make more pies. I love your new fall header.
Glad Aggie won that magazine. Sad I didn't. Maybe she'll share the copies with me 🙂
Nothing like a good Apple pie recipe from your mom!
Wow! What a BEAUTIFUL pie. It looks almost to good to eat… almost ;).
I can't even put into words just how yummy this looks! I L-0-V-E apple pie. Especially with the crumbles on top!
Love the new look for fall! :0)
How do you take such lucious photos all the time…just delicous.
Okay I seriously love this! OMG!
You know, Shelby, I am in deep,true love for this pie. Oh my goodness. Apple is probably my favorite favorite, and this one looks exquisite!
Very cool. I love crumble top apple pies.
YAY!!! Thank you HoneyB for having the Vegetarian Times Giveaway! I am so excited to receive my subscription!! Thank you! Thank you! And… a big thanks to Sue for drawing my name WOO HOO!
The pie looks delicious. Makes me want to visit my Mom 😉
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.
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…. 😉
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!

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?
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
