Ingredients for Apple Pie Filling With Clear Jel
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (about 6 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Clear Jel
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Water
- Unsweetened Apple Juice
- Bottled Lemon Juice

How to Make Apple Pie Filling With Clear Jel
- In a large saucepan, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- Stir in the sugar, Clear Jel, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the filling has thickened significantly. The filling should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Cool completely before using in your favorite pie crust. The filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
