The coolest thing about this canning session? The jars! These are the jars that Homestead Man's grandmother gave to me. One of the is a Mason jar with the liberty bell with the dates 1776-1976 on the side. Another is an Atlas jar. It's so awesome to think of all the things she might have canned in these jars.

Apple Pie Filling
The apple pie filling won out! I used this recipe from Recipezaar. After doubling the recipe to account for the amount of apples I had, my yield was 10 quart jars of apple pie filling with some syrup left over. Here are some pics:

Your pie filling looks great!
I also did a couple dozen jars this year, but many of my seals opened up. This was the first year I canned filling, so I have no idea what I did wrong.
I ended up opening most of the remaining sealed jars and dumping the contents into freezer bags. Not as convenient, but better than losing it all, I guess!
I picked up a bag of apples today, JUST to try out this recipe. But I did have a question, when you open the cans to use for pie filling, do you pour into baked or unbaked pie shells? Since the filling is already baked I would presume a prebaked pie shell but thought I would check. Im also wondering how the thickness of the filling will be once it is reheated in a pie?!?
