• In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Pour water into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; add to water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add apples and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
• Ladle into 5 freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cool at room temperature no longer than 1 1/2 hours.
• Seal and freeze. Can be stored for up to 12 months.

CLASSIC APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Peel and core the apples; slice 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the flour, cinnamon and salt and stir until the juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. (The filling can be made up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Add the cooled filling and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. Lay the dough over the filling and press the two crusts together around the edges. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a few slits in the top crust to let steam escape. Chill 1 hour.
• Put a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for at least 30 minutes. Put the pie directly on the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F; bake until the pie is golden and the filling is bubbly, 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes, rotating the pie as needed. (Cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool until the filling is set, about 3 hours.
• Pulse the flour, shortening, sugar, vinegar and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 4 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse again.
• Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pat each into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or preferably overnight, or freeze up to 2 months.

FRESH APPLE PIE FILLING

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a kettle to accomodate the amount of water. You will need to know how to process this recipe in a hot water bath.
• 2. Cook on medium until thickened. To a consistency of gravy. (Like pudding before it sets) Add your lemon juice and fruit fresh ingredients. Stir until all combined. I combine the two before adding to the filling mixture. By tasting the room temp filling you will be able to add more spices to suite your taste. For my family we cant get enough cinnamon. If not sweet enough add a little more sugar. I have not tried this recipe with artificial sweetner. I guess if i were to try any it would be part Splenda or would even try some organic raw Agave sweetner.For someone that is trying this the first time, I would stick with regular sugar. I also highly recommend using a high quality of cinnamon. My favorite is SAIGON CINNAMON Brand Gourmet collection. Much richer. You get what you pay for.
• 3. Peel and slice your apples. Harlsons are the BEST. but I know in FL. They do not have that variety Granny Smiths are your next option. I would have approx 3-4 pounds available. Have approx 6-8 quart jars cleaned.along with new lids and screw tops. Fill jars 1.5 inches from the top. Add the prepared filling. Tap bottom of jar on a soft surface to make sure air pockets are removed. Not necessary, but I am fussy when it comes to canning. Screw lid and top on tight.
• 4. Process these jars in a hot water bath for 20-25 min. Set the jars out and listen for the seal.This will keep for at least 6 months if not longer. Store in a cool environment. When it comes time to make your pie. You can be real lazy and roll out a doubl crust. like the refridgerated pillsbury brand. You dont have to bake for an hour. I typically par bake my bottom crust add the filling and bake for another 30 35 min,until the filling starts to bubble. This may sound like a lot of work, but once you make it one time. You will appreciate it. You can make this in a cobbler, or any other recipe asking for fresh apples. turnovers are great. Use your imagination. GOOD LUCK.
