CANNING APPLE PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Prepare a water bath canner, canning jars and lids.
• Peel, core and slice apples. Splash lemon juice on the slices as you go to prevent browning (you'll still need a full 1/2 cup of lemon juice to add to the filling at the end, even though some is used here).
• In two batches of 6 cups each, blanch apple slices in a small amount (roughly 1 quart) of boiling water for 1 minute. Strain apple slices and keep them covered and warm while you prepare the filling.
• Mix all remaining ingredients EXCEPT LEMON JUICE in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and then add the lemon juice. Return to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
• Add in the hot blanched apple slices and stir to incorporate them.
• Fill canning jars (quarts or pints), leaving 1 full inch of headspace. Be careful to remove air bubbles and adjust headspace before capping with 2 part canning lids.
• Adjust lids to finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 25 minutes. Turn off the canner and allow the jars to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before removing them.
• Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before checking seals. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks. Sealed jars will keep in the pantry for up to 18 months (possibly longer).

HOW TO MAKE APPLE PIE WITH APPLE PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425.
• Line a 9" pie plate with one of your pie crusts, set the other to the side. (Do not crimp the edges of the pie yet)
• Pour the apple pie filling into a medium sized bowl. Be sure to scrape the side of the can with a rubber spatula to get all of the filling out.
• Using your rubber spatula, gently mix the lemon juice and ginger into the apple pie filling.
• Once well incorporated, pour the pie filling into the pie crust that is in the pie plate.
• Use the other pie crust and lay it over the surface of the apple pie filling, centering it so that the edges come together.
• Make your fingers damp with a little water and crimp the edges of the pie together by pinching them to make a fluted design. If you aren't sure how to do this, you can instead use the tines of a fork to mash the two pie crusts together.
• Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the pie crust
• Using a pastry brush, the back of a spoon or even a barbecue brush paint the top crust with the egg white completely.
• Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the pie filling appears to be bubbling. You will want to place a baking sheet below your pie to catch any drips while it is baking.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool well before serving.
