- 2 pounds apples
- 2-6 TBSP sugar
- 4-5 TBSP lemon juice
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
Sterilize 3 pint size mason jars plus lids.
Fill a medium pot with at least 1 cup of water. Add the lemon juice to prevent the apples from browing.
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Optional: leave the peel. Add apples to the lemon water in the pot.
Add sugar and cinnamon to the apple mixture.
Over medium-low heat, bring the apple mixture to a simmer until apples have reached the desired softness.
Fill the apple pie filling in the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch from the top. Place lid on the jar and screw rings on. Follow safe canning practices.
