Apple Pie Filling

I am still trying to use up all these apples from the other week so I decided to make some apple pie filling. I went ahead and used mine in a pie but I think I will make some more up and freeze it.

 

Apple Pie Filling

5 cups peeled,chopped apples

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups water

                                                        

Instructions

Toss the apples with lemon juice and set aside.

Combine the sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in water. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil 2 minutes stirring constantly.

 

 

Add the apples and bring to a boil again.

 

 Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely. It will set up as it cools. Makes 4 cups of apple pie filling.

Enjoy!

 

Stephanie Here with Make it Monday

Hey I am going to try and do a make it Monday Post every week.  Today's post is twine wrapped glass bottle.  These are a cute decoration for fall.  I simply took a glass bottle (these happen to be glass baby bottles) and starting at the bottom applied glue to the bottle.  I used plain white glue.  Then I stuck the twine in the glue and started wrapping it up the bottle applying glue as I went up. I think they turned out really cute.  I used them last year on my mantle.  I have 5 of them I made.  They would look great in a line on the table with fall colored flowers in them. Please ignore the tablecloth I run a home day care and that is a daycare tablecloth.

With fall coming up I thought I would share a idea for fall decor. I made these last year they are simply left over 4X4 painted orange with a hole drilled in the top big enough for a small tree branch to fit in it.  And you have square Pumpkins.
Hope you like this idea
Happy crafting
