Apple Pie Filling

This is the second year that I have used this recipe for canning apples. It is the same recipe my Mom uses. It makes the best apple pies and apple crisp. I am getting hungry just looking at the picture!
* 3 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar ( 1 cup white + 1 Tbsp molasses)
* 1 cup cornstarch
* 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp cloves
* 1/4 tsp all spice
* 2 tsp salt
* 10 cups water


* Mix all ingredients together in big kettle and bring to boil over medium heat until sauce thickens.
* Add 3 Tbsp lemon juice once removed from heat.
* Peel, core and slice enough apples to fill 6 quart size jars
* Pour sauce over packed apples...pour a little at a time to allow the sauce to drip down. Be sure to leave about 1/4" head room.
* Seal jars with lid and rings
* Process in water bath for 20 min
