Steam Canning Apple Pie Filling

Our bumper crop of apples create opportunities for a variety of ways to preserve the harvest. Having apple pie filling bottled and ready for the holiday season is a great way to use our apples. We show the USDA recipe and process by steam canning.

😂 I’m watching you on my iPad & every time you say ‘Hey Siri set timer for’ mine ask me ‘how long’ 😂

Sorry Jim, we may have to have apple pie tonight if we have extra … 😂… as Jim is throwing extra apple slices into the pot 🤭.

Pam: after looking at the fallen apple vinegar video. I believe your apple tree is a Blushing Golden apple tree. They are an older apple variety and are no longer available for sale and have not been for some time. The only way you can get one now is to have it custom grafted. My children ate bushels of Blushing Golden apples that were dried. My dehydrator holds about a 1/4 of a bushel of apples and I would dehydrate them put them in a half gallon jar and my hubs and kids would devour them while watching tv. I purchased so many of them that the orchard owner kept asking me how many kids do you have. I never bought less than 3 bushel at a time. Blushing Golden is a great all purpose apple.

When I first learned to can from you, I followed your recipe and canned apple and mailed it to my daughter in Michigan. I was not able to be with her for Thanksgiving, but in a way at least my spirit was there because she was able to make her apple pies from my apple pie filling. Thank you.

I've canned applesauce, made apple cider vinegar and baked apple pies. Next apple pie filling and dehydrating...my tree is bursting.

Now I know why I own a long handle spoon 🥄!!! Thanks for the video.

My Birthday is in a few days and My Son is getting me a steam Yes!!!! I'm wondering what to can first. Oh, what a delicious wonderful decision to be making. Thank you, RoseRed, so very much for all you do for us!!! I wish we could click a Heart instead of just a Thumbs Up. ❤️🙂🌻

Our apple trees were very abundant this year, I made 18 quarts of apple pie filling, applesauce, apple jelly, mint apple jelly, apple butter. Apple cider, I dont have anymore to dehydrate.

Thank you. A thing here in the south, is can in pints and make hand pies; two or three at a time. God Bless and stay safe.

I absolutely love your videos. I’m a new canner, just bought a Presto electric last fall. Canned peach pie filling, spiced peaches, corn, cowboy candy - all big hits! I’m learning so much! I’m excited to learn about steam canning. We’re an older gay couple looking to save on food by processing ourselves, no preservatives, and having shelf ready meals for when needed. So thanks Pam and Jim for the education and being downright nice folks! I trust your processes where not so confident about other canners.

Making apple crisp with oatmeal crust and topping is quicker and maybe healthier than pie and uses the same filling!

I just cut up my apples and freeze them. They make a great gluten free, sugar free apple crisp.

I love apple pie filling. I have been making it now in pint jars (along with ALL other kinds, triple berry, peach, blueberry), and I open one and use a tsp full in my homemade yogurt every morning with my homemade granola. It is SO yummy! GREAT video. I have to say, whenever I have questions about something, I ALWAYS come here to your channel! TY so much, for all you guys do for us!

I am still learning about steam canning and water bath canning so it was interesting to see how similar the process is for apple pie filling. I really like RoseRed and am always learning something new. I love how much she tries to be mindful of temperature and processing time whenever she cans anything. Thank you, RoseRed, for your diligence.

Also, get a longer handled spoon to avoid burns.

[katrinaDS]

Last year I followed your canning apple pie filling and it turned out amazing!!! I will do this every year now.

[terrym]

I found using an old fashioned flour sifter or mesh strainer with holes big enough for sugar granules more thoroughly combines dry ingredients.

My hubs loved among other apple things, pie!!! One year I went insane with buying orchard bushels of apples!! I canned among all the other goodies, quarts and quarts of pie filling. It was our Sunday thing all winter in the snowy Pocono's. Homemade icecream, and an apple galette. I miss those days.

I just received my steam canner in the mail today. Can’t wait to use it. Thank you for your videos using this canner.

After hand processing 20 pounds of apples last year (and paying a painful price), I bought that gadget. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m going to this week. There’s nothing better than having apple pie filling on my shelf to make a pie at a moment’s notice-without having to dirty any dishes. I used the USDA recipe and made a jar of my own British apple pie spice. Cardamom makes it really special. Thanks for the demo, I ordered your steam canner, based on your research ❤
