Try holding that peeler like a paring knife and peel your apples in a long continuous strip. I find it to be much faster and still peels thin.

@@diannej2406 same here. And yeah, I always make of a goal to try and take the whole peel in one strip. Lol. It's just fun to try. You should be pulling the blade to your thumb. I keep expecting her to take off a chunk of her finger like that. Lol. So much more dangerous. For my apple pie recipe, I don't like it one texture. All crunch or all squish. My palate gets bored. So I use a combination of 7 Fuji, 3 Honeycrisp, and 2-3 granny Smith. The fuji is sliced very thin so it becomes like a chunky applesauce, the honey and granny are in larger chunks and it's full of vanilla and spices. Crust is my own recipe as well and is a butter shortcrust egg washed and sprinkled with turbinado sugar to make it really crunch. To date, everyone who's tried it has said it's the best apple pie they've ever had and I get requests for it a lot. Lol.

Hello neighbor, I am deep into the apple processing too. My grandson’s eyes lit up when he saw my finished jars of apple pie filling and proclaimed his excitement for his favorite. He also keeps eyeballing the pickles and wondering if they are “done.” I usually make everyone wait for Thanksgiving to crack open that first pickle jar. Anyway, I am glad to know that steam canners are now approved. I have used my for years but my tattered old Ball Canning book is so old that they were not recommended. My poor old canner has seen a lot of action and looks like it. I think I might have to treat myself to a new stainless steel canner one of these days 😊 Have a great trip

I made this recipe. I did omit the clear gel since I didn’t have any. I used the cornstarch since I wanted to make 1 pie right away. But I will have to add the cornstarch to my jarred pie filling when I make it in the future. I was skeptical at first because it looked very runny as I was filling the pie. I had to refrigerate it overnight because when I was finished jarring, it was very late. The next evening I baked it and it was delicious! I really like the ginger in it. It gives it a little kick. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I’m so glad I have more I can make.

Quite by accident, I have become somewhat of an expert at canning fruit. Everyone I share with says they are the best preserves they have ever tasted. I use a no pectin added method that takes longer, but when I'm done my fruit preserves basically have an indefinite shelf life. In fact, I just opened a jar of blackberry preserves I made over three years ago. Looked just like I canned it yesterday and tasted delicious! Apples on the other hand elude me.

@farmerchick3040 Год назад

@@lauranewell3197 I have found methods using sugar and lemon juice mixed with the fruit and let it sit for half an hour before cooking. Mixing high pectin fruits like citrus allows you to make preserves without pectin to up the pectin naturally.

Dear Melissa, I cant wait to try this. First, must buy that water bath canner!

Melissa your instructions are ALWAYS so clear for understanding each and every step! Cant wait to try this.

@leannacarson-hansen7041 Год назад

You can use a large stock pot with a separate rack that fits the interior diameter of the pot. You need to measure the height to ensure you have two inches of water over the jars. Recipes call fir one inch water above tge jars but you can lose water while boiling/processing the jars. I keep a hot tea pot/kettle to add boiling water if needed. Or you can attach canning bands/rings together to make a rack.

I've never canned anything yet. But would love to do do. I make a pretty good apple pie. We tend to use cortland apples and eat (honey crisps, a little more expensive in the north east). I figured if I watched enough canning videos, I might get brave and try it. I felt worried watching you cut the apples, though. Your knife didn't look sharp enough but your peeler looked very sharp. I've only seen people peel potatoes that way. Good video. Thank you.

Hi Melissa! Been a subscriber for a LONG time! In case you didn't know it, you can remove the slicer on the slicer/peeler/corer with a quick turn of the wing nut! I agree those slices are too thin for pie so we just cut them after the peeler/corer does the hard work. Keep up the hard work! I love the changes you're making. 🧡

@jenniferwinsor7740 3 года назад

Good tip. I have an apple peeler corer also but peel, core and cut by hand also. I find if you have odd shaped apples or wide variations of apple sizes the peeler/slicers slow you down. If I have a good batch of apples I will try adjusting the slice size. I don't like mushy apple pie filling either.

@MelissaKNorris 3 года назад

@teresamexico309 Год назад

Useful and well explained video, thank you Melissa. I do can apples and pears but instead of using water I do use the juice from the non-perfect fruit (my trees produce tons of fruits). How do I get the juice from the non-perfect fruit (pears, apples, peaches, quince, etc..): - Wash the fruit. - Remove spots, blemished parts of the fruit. - Cut the fruit to check for the core part. (blackish cores of pears, apples and quince are discarded which might be caused by insects or diseases). -- Cut the fruit in pieces. - Place the fruit in a pressure cooker covering with just enough water and set the stew cycle (35 min). (forgot: add lime juice or any citric fruit juice. I do use sour orange juice) - Let it rest overnight (for Quince, it is important to get that beautiful reddish color and also their anti-oxidative properties are enhanced by the high temperatures in the cooking). .- Strain the pulp and get the juice. I do can only the juice or the fruit in their own juice. I use not sugar at all in the canning. For the fruit to have a firmer texture, it can be soaked in lime water for some hours, rinsed very well and then process accordingly.

when I cook down apples with skin on (pulverize later in processor) on the woodstove for applesauce the reduced nectar with pectin results as an extra. wish I knew what apples she was using, one tree that just fruited plentifully this year finally. look identical, taste great,crisp and don't brown quickly after slicing.

@KDAndrus 3 года назад

I too do not like the thin slices from the apple peeler corer. This year we removed the corer and peeled the apples quick with the peeler portion leaving the core to be removed with the push down corer slicer as a second step. It worked out great and the apples were in bigger chunks that those thin skinny slices of the peeler.

Melissa I love your videos - I just found your site recently! Does the one quart jar of apples fill a regular pie shell (9 inch I think)?. Thank you for all of the lessons :)

Can't wait to start canning! I just got my new canner. Plus hubby scored over 100 used qt jars that I'll have to scrub & wash (the bulk of them are really dirty from being stored somewhere dank & grungy). We did buy some new pints plus some lids & rings to get started on the quarts. Unfortunately I am the dishwasher, I don't have the appliance, but that gives me more time to watch more videos & gain confidence. Thanks & Blessings! Edit: Oh no! I got a pressure canner. I don't have a steam canner. I do have a 22qt stock pot. Can I still make this recipe?

Much easier to peel if you quarter/eighth your apple first. I love Gala or Fuji for pies.

I am new here. We use starfrit potatoes peeler. It just peels the apples. We have peeled about 5 bushels for pie with this.

Hi Melissa! How did I miss this recipe! Love it! Questions, what is clear gel? Is it pectin?

@red05malibumaxx 3 года назад

Thank you so much for explaining the little things like sugar content, and explaining why you blanch the apples. It's those little things that is why I follow people because you can not find a lot of people that will explain this things.

Melissa, thanks for this great video. One thing I have run into is canning apple pie filling while making apple pies. What if anything do I need to do if I make a batch of apple pies right now while preserving a few quarts? Can I take what I would put in the quart jars and simply pour it into a pie crust? Then can the rest as I normally would?

Cortland apple pie!

Those Johnny Appleseed peeler machines have the option to peel but not slice the apples. I still used the manual machine to peel my apples but then I used an apple section slicer so I got bigger sliced chunks of apple for my pies.

I used your recipe to can apple pie filling today. It made 3 quarts & 1 pint. My very first time to can any kind of pie filling. Two of the jars siphoned quite a bit, but they still sealed. I followed the recipe to a T...I’m making another batch soon, and I will try leaving them in the open & turned off canner for 10 min, not 5, after the processing time is over to prevent the siphoning. Another website said to adjust the amount of ClearJel to lessen the chance of siphoning....would that help? Thank you!
