Here's MJ's apple pie filling:
18 lbs. red=skinned apples, Cameos, Gala, Braeburn, Jonagold
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups organic sugar
1 cup cornstarch (I've used Clear Jel)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
10 cups water
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
7 wide mouth quart canning jars
Wash apples,peel, core and slice them. Put apple slices in a large bowl of water with lemon juice - 2 teaspoons lemon juice for every 5 cups water. In a large pot, combine water, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for approximately 15 minutes, or until thick and caramel colored. Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Ladle apple slices into sterilized quart jars. Ladle hot liquid over apples to within 1/2 inch of jar top. Process quarts 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Yield: 7 quart jars.
My directions for baking these pies from the filling is 400º for 55 minutes. Check you oven the first time you do this.
I found this in MJ's Ideabook, Cookbook and Lifebook. Page 135
Enjoy!

You're welcome. I love having these quarts in my cupboard. Whenever people show up last minute to visit, I combine refrigerator pie crust with this canned apple pie filling and some crumbed topping. An hour later, pie!!!
