Gordon Creek Ward Apple Pie Filling

About 20 years ago a dozen or more Relief Society sisters came to the church and under the direction of Shawn Prettyman, spent the day canning this apple pie filling.  It has been a favorite ever since!

 

INGREDIENTS

9 cups water

3 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup corn starch

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsp. cinnamon

4 Tbsp. lemon juice

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp. almond extract

1/4 tsp. salt

 

DIRECTIONS

Fill 9 quart jars with peeled, sliced apples, set aside.

Mix water and 3 1/2 cups sugar in large stock pot - bring to a boil.  Mix remaining ingredients together and add to boiling mixture.  Stir and cook until transparent.  Pour over apples in jars.  Process in water bath for 30 minutes.  

For pie:  Pour into pie shell and bake 40 minutes at 400.  Great for apple crisp too!
