Apple Pie Filling?? YES, PLEASE!!!

My mom helped me can some apple pie filling. We use this almost every year when apples are in plenty. It makes for anything apple that you can bake. This family recipe has been in our family for some time. Thanks mom for the help!! I love you!!

Recepe: MIX TOGETHER 4 1/2 cups sugar (or splenda if you prefer).
                                           2 tsp. cinnamon
                                           1/4 tsp. nutmeg (or to taste if u like it stronger)
                                            1 tsp. salt

             STIR all ingredients above with 10 cups water. Cook until bubbly and thick (if it does not get as thick as you would like it...use some corn starch to thicken it up...u dont want runny apple pies or cobblers.)
             ADD 3 Tablespoons lemon juice and stir to the mix.
             Pack tart apple slices into canning jars (leaving 1 inch headroom from top of jars).
             FILL jars with hot syrup leaving 1/2 inch space from top of jar
             HOT water bath about 10-12 minutes for quart size jars. 8 minutes for pint sized jars.
              Recipe should make about 7 quarts.
