How to Make Apple Pie Filling With Vanilla Buttershots Canning

  1. In a large pot, combine 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup vanilla butterscotch chips, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional: add ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ¼ teaspoon allspice). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and bubbles (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, pack 4-6 slices of peeled apples into sterilized quart-sized canning jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace.
  4. Remove the apple filling from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. Carefully pour the hot filling over the apples in the jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace. Use a butter knife or chopstick to remove air bubbles and ensure the filling reaches the bottom of the jar.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place hot lids and screw on the rings.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  8. Remove jars from the water bath and allow to cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the lids seal. Check lids to ensure proper sealing.
