Does anyone have a recipe for canned Apple Pie filling without using Tapioca? I lost my recipe and it had Clear Jel for the thickner. Thanks.

Hi Tina!
Here's the one with Clear Jel I use, it's from the Ball canning website, www.freshpreserving.com
***APPLE PIE FILLING***
Makes about 7 (16 oz) pints
In addition to the classic pie, this apple pie filling allows you to quickly make luscious desserts such as apple turnovers, apple crisp or apple dumplings.
Ingredients:
12 cups sliced peeled cored apples, treated to prevent browning* and drained (about 12 medium)
Water
2-3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup ClearJel® (cooking starch used for preserving)
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2-1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice
1-1/4 cups cold water
1/2 cup lemon juice
7 (16 oz) pint glass preserving jars with lids and bands
Directions:
1.) PREPARE boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.
2.) BLANCH apple slices, working with 6 cups at a time, in a large pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm in a covered bowl.
3.) COMBINE sugar, ClearJel®, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large stainless steel saucepan. Stir in apple juice and cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, and cook until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add lemon juice, return to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Drain apple slices and immediately fold into hot mixture. Before processing, heat, stirring, until apples are heated through.
4.) LADLE hot pie filling into hot jars leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.
5.) PROCESS jars in a boiling water canner for 25 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
*To treat apple slices to prevent browning, apply Ball® Fruit-Fresh® Produce Protector according to the manufacturer's instructions or submerge cut apples in a mixture of 1/4 cup lemon juice and 4 cups water.

Thanks Mary Beth and Elizabeth, I may try both. I'm finishing up the last of the Salsa today and will be getting my apples at the end of the week. After Pie filling and applesauce, my pots are going up and I'm back to quilting for the winter. Yeah!

Mary Beth, thank you for sharing your recipe. I used it to make my first ever canned apple pie filling and it is so yummy!

I wanted to use MaryJane's recipe this year but I just haven't had time to get apples for canned apple pie filling. If I can manage to get some cheap or free from someone local I will try a batch but otherwise I will have to wait until next year. Either way I can't wait to try it out!

I had my first experience with ClearJel and pie fillings earlier this year and wanted to share. I was a dope and misread the recipe and only left 1" headspace in my jars - can we say SIPHONING? UGH!
And I was also a double dope because I did a whole batch at once - didn't do a test jar first. Not a good day!
I found that in subsequent attempts, a headspace of 1.5" was JUST barely enough and a headspace closer to 2" actually left a tiny bit of room between the fruit filling and the lid of the jar when all was said and done.
Wondering what others have experienced with this?
I also wanted to share this link I found of the University of Maine's extension website. It lists all sorts of pie filling recipes using ClearJel. And they helpfully list amounts for your test jar as well as a whole batch!
