Ingredients

4.5 cups white sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
10 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 drops yellow food coloring
6 pounds apples

Instructions

Prepare all your ingredients.
In a large pan, combine sugar, cooking starch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add water and salt, then stir until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it thickens and becomes bubbly. Take off the heat and stir in lemon juice and food coloring.
Sterilize your canning jars, lids, and rings by boiling them in a large pot of water. Peel, core, and slice the apples.
Tightly pack the sliced apples into the sterilized, hot canning jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Pour the hot syrup over the apples in the jars, then gently remove any trapped air bubbles using a knife or spatula.
Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath canner for 25 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Enjoy your homemade canned apple pie filling in pies, crisps, or cobblers!
