I have always loved the pie filling in the can. I could sit and eat the whole thing! Yesterday I made my own. I bought a large can of clear gel, it is a thickening agent used in canning, peeled and sliced my apples and I was ready to go.
The entire process was very easy. I have included a few pictures below but, as the cooking process went on things began to move faster. I wasn't able to get all the pictures I wanted.
As I was cooking the clear gel mixture, It started to clump up like flour does if it doesn't get mixed right in gravy. I thought that I had ruined it but it ended up smoothing out and looking awesome. Later, I read the back of the can of clear gel and it said that would happen! I guess I should have read it to begin with.
The pie filling is yummy and I can't wait to make more!
