How to Make Apple Pie Filling From Scratch

Last fall, my family took a trip to Jackson's Apple Orchard in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I ended up purchasing a half bushel of apples to make some apple pie filling.
I put together this video, showing step-by-step how to make an apple pie filling that you can preserve by canning. If you would like to make this pile of deliciousness, the recipe is listed down below. I have also included links to the ingredients I used.
Enough of my ramblings....get ready, and I'll tell you what you need to do!
Apple Pie Filling - Recipe makes about 6 to 6-1/2 quarts. The amount in the video made 12-1/2 quarts

• 2 cups cold water
• 5-1/2 c. apple cider
• 3/4 tbsp. bottled lemon juice (or more, up to 1 c., to taste)

Place peeled apples in lemon juice water while peeling & cutting and they wont brown from oxidation like meat does.
