Making an Apple Pie from Rehydrated Homemade Freeze Dried Apple Pie Filling

Making an apple pie from homemade freeze dried apple pie filling.

Rehydrating some more apple pie filling that we had freeze dried almost 2 years ago and making an apple pie. The mini pies we made a couple days earlier for our rehydration test worked so well, we decided to make a full size pie with the rest of the freeze dried pie filling we had.
We had made and frozen the pie filling a couple years before we bought the Harvest Right freeze dryer and freeze dried it.

Apple Filling for Crisp or Pie & Crisp Topping
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 cups apple slices -- sliced firm cooking apple
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg

1 cup butter -- cold
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup brown sugar

Apple filling: Mix the first 5 ingredients together and pack firmly in the baking pan(s).
One, 10" x 15" pan or Two, 8" x 8" pans (or Three, 7"x7" pans for freeze drying - don't bake)

Crisp topping: Mix, don't blend, the last 6 ingredients together using pastry knifes or pulsing in a food processor. The butter should still be in small bits; do not cream.

Evenly spread the topping over the filling and pack firmly.
Bake at 350F for 45 to 60 minutes.

We have the medium freeze dryer with the original vacuum pump.

I make an epic blueberry pie filling using cook type clear jell. Do you think FDing it would work (if I cut the blueberries prior to making the filling?) thanks for your videos!!
