AMISH APPLE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.

• Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot with thin slices of butter.
• Wet the edge of the crust with cold water, and put your second crust on the top. Lightly press the edges to seal. Using a knife, trim off the extra crust (you can use this to make a tiny personal pie crust). Crimp the edges.
• Cut a few slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
• Brush cream or egg yolk on the top crust and sprinkle it with sugar for an extra shine and beautiful browning.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 400°. reduce the temperature to 350°, and continue baking for another 50 minutes.

AMISH CANNED APPLE PIE FILLING RECIPE

Steps:

• Sterilize your jars, lids, and bands for canning. Fill your large pot half full of water and bring to a simmer.
• Fill each jar with as many apple slices as possible. Use a wooden spoon to jam them in tight and don't be afraid of breaking a few slices to do so.
• In a large pot, mix together the cornstarch, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Add water and cook on high, stirring often, until bubbly and thickened.
• Remove from heat and add lemon juice and stir well. Add hot syrup to each jar, leaving about a 1 inch space at the top.
• Wipe off each jar rim, add the sterilized lid and band, then add to the simmering water. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of water on top of jars. Bring to a roiling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 minutes.
• Remove jars and let them cool on a towel for 24 hours. Check to be sure each lid is sealed by pressing down in the center.

CANNED APPLE PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Use firm crisp apples, such as golden delicious, Rome or other apples of similar quality.
• Wash, peel and core the apples. Slice them about 1/2 inch wide and place in water containing ascorbic acid to prevent browning. Blanch 2 quarts at a time for 1 minute in boiling water. While blanching other apples, keep ones already blanched in covered pot to keep warm.
• Combine the sugar, clear gelatin and cinnamon in large pot with the water and apple juice, food coloring and nutmeg. Stir and cook on medium high heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
• Drain the apple slices from the water, reserving water.
• Add lemon juice to water mixture and boil 1 minute more. Fold in the apple slices immediately and fill jars with mixture. Clean the rims and seal the jars.
