Recipe - Apple Pie In A Jar

28 cup Peeled; cut or sliced up , then
quartered *tart* apples
4 One half cup Sugar
1 cup Cornstarch
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
One fourth teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Salt
10 cup Water
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
3 dr Yellow food coloring
3 tablespoon Dehydrated lemon peel

Make a syrup from sugar, constarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water. Cook
and stir until thick and bubbly. Add lemon juice mix with apples, pack into
jars leaving a good One half inch at top of jar. Seal and process jars in water
bath for 20 minutes. Makes about 7 quarts of filling. After jars are
completely cooled, I unscrew the ring and cut large circles of holidayish
tissue paper, put over the lid, then gently put screw the ring back on.

I then make labels on my computer with cardstock and a Christmas graphic,
titled, "Pamela's Apple Pie in a Jar", punch a hole in the top, which I tie
with raffia around lids that have the recipe for the crumb topping below:

: 1 cup butter
: 1 cup brown sugar
: 1 cup flour
: Process til crumbly.
: Stir in:
: 1 cup oatmeal

Spread on top of filling in a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 350
degrees for 40 minutes. Top with ice cream or whipped cream while warm.

Note: For my small family, I can filling in pint size jars and bake in a
8x8 pan.
