   I have a question. I made apple pie filling yesterday, and had left over syrup as well. I was wondering what to do with the syrup? Can you freeze it, and then what do you use it for? This is my first time making the filling. Thanks and have a great day.

     Hi Correna, we haven’t tried to freeze it yet, so I’m sure if it’s possible, although I don’t see why you couldn’t. If you don’t want to freeze it, just keep it in an airtight container in the fridge to drizzle over ice cream or baked goods.
     Thanks for stopping by!

       Thank you very much. I think I will try freezing it as I have quite a bit and we wont use very much at one time. Over icecream sounds good, I will have to try that. I may add some caramels to part of it, melt them and mix in and then try that on some dessert. Have a great day and thank you again. love your blog.

         Hi! I canned my leftover syrup in 1/2 pint jars, and I have so far used it as a glaze on an apple crumb coffee cake, a sweetener in my refrigerator oatmeal, and I put some in my herbal tea the other morning, cause I ran out of honey. I love this stuff!!

   Hey Liz, thanks for the recipe, I put up 32 qts of this apple pie filling. I plan on handing some out at Christmas. This year there is an over abundance of Apples here in east central Illinois. I made my husband some small tarts out of this and he said that it was good. I still work with apples and pears, as long as I don’t eat them I am find. Allergies to both what a bummer, but on a good note the syrup tastes good over ice cream, so thank you again.

   I’m freezing in bags, any suggestions on the cooking?

   I do make pie filling every year and I use clear jel rather than cornstarch it does make a better filling as for lasting longer on the shelf you can find in on line or in bulk food stores it also keeps well in freezer for next year make sure you leave room in jars for the apples to cook they do expand and will over flow in the jars and not seal if this happens I put them in the freezer

    Hi there, I was wondering does a quart make 1 pie or 2 pies.?

    • 

      Liz11 years agoReply

      Hi Annette, typically 1 pie depending on the size of your pie crust and how deep it is.

    I don’t use the water. I make apple juice from the apple peels and cores (boiling them) , doing the same thing. and use the juice instead. Gives it better taste. Any leftover juice can be made into apple jelly.
    Have been doing this for years.
    You can also can PEACH pie filling also , doing the same thing.

      What an excellent idea! Do you have to make sure to remove apple seeds?

        Well, it would be recommended, but if any slip through I am sure it won`t be a tragedy.

    Hi,
    A friend uses this recipe. I like it but I wonder about using cider instead of water to help with a more ‘appley’
    taste? I always use cider when making applesauce.

    How long do you think the filing will stay good for in the cans? A couple months or longer?

      Liz9 years agoReply

      Hi Tiffany, yes the apple pie filling will last at least a couple months. Often times canned goods will last up to 6 months.
