I made a batch of this earlier today.
It was divine lol. I cut the three cups sugar back to two plus the brown sugar and it was still very sweet.
I love apple pie and this tasted like a warm delish apple pie. This recipe filled one quart jar and about 3/4 of another quart. Im out of 1/2 pint jars but I wanted to try the recipe before I went out and bought jars for it. Im def gonna pick up the jars now lol.

This sounds absolutely incredible, janie! I can just taste it on a wrinkly-raisin bagel with peanut-butter! YUM!

Im going to make more of it thats for sure.
Im keeping this one to myself. I already got in trouble with the pickles.
This recipe came from The Taste Of Home Cookbook I recently got from my bookclub.

I would not recommend cutting back on the sugar when using regular pectin. If you don't like that much sugar you should use a low or no sugar needed pectin and adjust the recipe according to the pectin box. The proportion of fruit, sugar and pectin is calculated to achieve a proper gel and to act as a preservative.

I'm surprised it actually gelled under the circumstances, especially processing in a quart jar.

Ok..next time I wont adjust the sugar.

I just went in there and uncapped the less filled jar.
It was gelled just fine.

I make a apple sweet roll, Using apple pie filling, I'd like to try using this recipe by spreading thinly no the pastry dough, roll it up and cut into 1" slice's, then baking. similar to a apple cinnamon roll.
