1: SNOW!!! Our first real snow of the year came today...and it's still coming! It's so beautiful outside with everything blanketed in white!
2: The BEST APPLE PIE FILLING RECIPE EVER!!! Makes 25 cups filling (5 very full pies, or 6 normal)
24 cups thinly sliced apples
3 TBS lemon juice
5 cups water
4 2/3 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
Toss the apples with the lemon juice. Set aside. Put the water in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add to water. Stir well and bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then add the apples. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer until apples are tender about 6-12 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes. Ladle into freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Cool at room temperature no longer than 1 1/2 hours. Seal and freeze. Can be stored for up to 1 year!
