This is the same recipe I use and it calls for canning instead of freezing. For canning pack the apples raw into the jars. Cover with hot syrup leaving 1 inch headroom. Process in boiling water bath 20 minutes for quarts, 15 minutes for pints. No need to pressure as the apples are acidic. Instead of tossing the apples with the lemon juice I just stir it into the syurp after it thickens.

The recipe shows 40 Servings - states it makes about 5 1/2 quarts. One quart of filling per pie. [quote] Yield: 5-1/2 quarts (enough for about five 9-inch pies). [/quote] As far as canning goes - I'm sure you could can this, but I would undercook the apples because they will continue to cook in the canner. Use a pressure canner to ensure safety.

SO, DIVIDE THE 28 CUPS OF FILLING BY 8 SERVINGS AND YOU WILL END UP WITH APROX., 3.5 CUPS OF FILLING USED PER PIE. AM I FIGURING CORRECTLY HERE PEOPLE?
