Yes we do listen, watch and enjoy.,.. i’ve been watching it for years and you put a lot of hard work into these videos. Many many seriously many things.

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

I made apple pie filling for the first time about a month ago. That was a messy sticky process! LOL. I don't even like apple pie personally. But I love to put apple pie filling in my oatmeal. So I just put it in smaller jars.

[@JRCHomesteadTexas]

I've canned peach and pear pie filling. If I can find apples on sale I might put some back. Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep

[@heiditucker2471]

❤🐾🐾🐾🐾 AMEN GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!

[@annejones3902]

That’s great. I need one. I bought a bar stool to sit at the counter to save my back. I killed it with peaches. Another great show

[@SuttonsDaze]

Thanks! I wish the stool worked for me. Eventually we'll get this figured out

[@cheryl121152]

I can't stand long enough to do too much in my kitchen. I have a small table Ser up for slicing/dicing fruits/veggies and use my computer chair at its highest point. It works for me.

[@christinebowers205]

Thank you. I cannot stand long myself anymore. Unfortunately! I am at my kitchen table sitting uncomfortable for hours prepping for all projects now. I love my vacuum sealer, time for a new toy.😂

[@Winterlily20]

I bought a manual last week, worked do awesome, I've been peeling and corinf apples by hand forever! I LOVE Tools, and this is one of my favorites ❤

[@milliealger3539]

You are a kid with a new toy! YAY You!

[@traceyhudson5883]

The right tools make this big job so much easier.. When making apple pie filling, I use pure apple cider rather than water- & I find the extra flavor is worth the extra cost!

[@susanlizottealbert3825]

I used to have a handmade apple peeler that cored and sliced at the same time but gave mine away to my daughter when she needed it I may have to get another one. This one is great. Keep taking care of your back.

[@debbiealtman5373]

Lisa get a chair with a back one that sits high so you can peel them sitting down. That looks like something I’d use if I was peeling that many apples. Blessings my friend.

[@corinne7126]

I make apple pie filling without thicker, just add it when making the pie. Also, you can use the canned apples for other dishes

[@TheSanderson1962]

I use one of the old fashioned peelers that cores and slices. Love it! Here's my back fix, after 6 back surgeries, I keep a tall padded swivel stool in my kitchen during canning season so I can sit while working the peeler and stirring!

[@teresawebster3498]

I have the same issue with my back, if I stand for long periods of time. My husband went and bought me a Huskey work bench that raises up and down. It has a couple of tool drawers too. I sit on a stool when I have a lot of prep-work to do. I love it.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

I bought my ForJars lids using your code and haven't had a seal fail yet. So impressed! Thanks.

[@SuttonsDaze]

Glad you like them!

[@simplydivine5053]

As the population ages people will have those issues. I already do as I’m in my late 60’s. But I have a chair on wheels that I sit on and I have a desk in my kitchen where I prep sitting down. You just have to readjust how you do things. I refuse to give up until I can’t sit lol. I’m still canning away. I’m not as fast as others but I get the job done!

[@MyButtercup]

Apple peel jelly is amazing.

[@vitalityhomeinstead1838]

Pie filling is notoriously famous for siphoning I leave an inch and quarter headspace.

[@vitalityhomeinstead1838]

Ha! I typed this before I heard you say the same darn thing!,, great minds think alike😂

[@lindabeard488]

Great video. Please rest. I worry about you overworking yourself. Thanks so much. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyscrivner9373]

I love my apple, peeler, corer, slicer attachment for my Kitchenaid!

[@maureenharrah931]

BEST LIDS EVER!!!!!

[@dianedazzle241]

I had so many patty pan squash this summer that I made mock apple pie filling and mock pineapples.

[@Cr170a]

Thankyou. I am a caregiver and appreciate learning ways to reduce stress on my back.I LOVE CANNING AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@suegeorge998]

Sorry, I wanted to wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful that I found your wonderful channel.

[@donnacampbell3022]

I have had one for years but you have to crank the lever. It's not as fun as yours but it's better than peeling them by hand. 😊

[@sweetsue1750]

When you said “spend quality time with it “ I lost it! LMAO.That peeler does look interesting.Great job Leisa.

[@dancinginabundance]

Granny always steamed the peeling and cores then through a sieve to make jelly. She did the same with peach peelings, only picked out the peach pits.

[@user-tf9xq3do7x]

I bought an electric peeler for potatoes for canning. I have arthritis and this peeler is a game changer!

[@marywilliams5566]

we found an apple peeler at a goodwill. I LOVE MINE!!!!

[@christymckinley2928]

I absolutely love my electric peeler

[@pamelawhite5036]

Can't wait to try this recipe perfect timing. 🥰 I'm with you been down with back for 2 months pinched sciatica... MRI today. I feel for you 🙏♥️ prayers for a healing. It sucks I know 🙄😢🙏

[@lindakunkel2470]

Leisa - loved this video! They look amazing!

[@LurkerSmurf]

Fantastic peeler. And apples are only labor intensive until you start pitting ten pounds of cherries.

[@SuttonsDaze]

Haha! Truth!

[@debbiee6535]

Yay apple peels and apple cores for jelly Yahoo

[@lightgiver7311]

My husband was the one who baked apple pies. It had to be spy apples or nothing. LOL

[@bluemustang5002]

Not the cast iron heater grates as cooling racks! Genious!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Yes! Hahaha. I love them.

[@katharvey7324]

Mine has a manual hand crank, but I like yours better. I’ve never seen deer apples that look so good like yours. They almost look like red delicious. The deer apples my mom had in her yard were very small. I always loved watching the deer stretch their necks to reach them in the trees. Great memories at mom’s house.

[@COWELLGIRL]

Girl, get a bar stool chair and pull it up to the counter and sit on it, helps my back alot

[@larah287]

Thanks Doll....loving your content! ❤

[@cherylrobinson1747]

I have a peeler attachment for my kitchen aid mixer. It peel, slices, and cores , or you set it to onley peel the apple. It's great!! For those who have a kitchen aid.

[@missperfect2657]

I will look into that kitchen aid attachment. Thanks for the info

[@suzyvance7328]

I love to canned this. After watching this video I'll have to pick the rest of the apples and get canning again... Thanks for the inspiration....

[@hollyh9334]

I've found with pie filling that I have to leave a smidge more headspace. The Clear Jel expands.

[@autumngypsie4280]

The jars look great, and that peeler looks like a great investment. Ive been putting off getting apples cause it hurts my back to stand n peel them.

[@jenniferrescott1149]

Why dont you have a seat while you peel?

[@lucythomas4077]

I hope you feel better soon.

[@suel1634]

I've had this peeler for years. It's great! I than save the peels to make apple juice for jelly. It's great!

[@mariapina1973]

I know exactly what you are talking about I have had back problems since I was 18 years old now in my mid fifties it has turned into arthritis take care and take breaks if you have to 🙂🌻🌼🌻

[@donnabanks7213]

i love this item. i peel potatoes with it and then just cut off the unpeeled end of potatoes

[@pameladerby6200]

😮 i gotta have one! I have 3 non healing fractures in my spine and 2 pinched nerves. I do everything sitting. This eould be great. Than you who shared this 🥰

[@nikkifaletic1673]

Got mine last year after my back went out too. It’s a game changer! Glad you found it ❤

[@ranakacir3893]

Thanks for sharing the apple peeler. We went to Blake's today and picked just about 2 bushels of apples. I can't wait to get started canning these up for the winter.

[@KellyS_77]

I'm kind of surprised that NCHFP hasn't never reevaluated the headspace recommendation for apple pie filling. It seems like maybe it's something to do with the clearjel? Maybe because it's hot, then it cools while you're mixing in the apples and filling the jars, then gets heated up again? Normal cornstarch doesn't do that when you cook with it, but clearjel is modified to be able to thicken as it cools, get liquid again when heated, and then rethicken (which is why it works so well for home-canned pie filling). The way to beat the peeler would be to get one of those (manual) gadgets that press down on top of the apple and it cores it and slices the apples for you. I hardly think of it as a "gadget" its just a super simple (and fast) way to core and slice apples for kids or grandkids to dip in peanut butter. They're like $5 or less, but it's worth looking around for one that has "wedges" the right size for you.

[@jenniexfuller]

That’s a pretty deer apple😮!

[@tamaraprevitali1990]

I❤ my steam canner, it’s a game changer.

[@AlaskaLittleHomestead]

I found an amazing apple peeler on Amazon that peels, slices, and cores your apples. I absolutely love it. It is hand cranked but I just sit down and get them done.

[@margiestraka7513]

Wow I had one of those about a month ago and didn't know how to make it work. And gave it away. So glad you showed this vido. Thank you for sharing.

[@SuttonsDaze]

You are so welcome!

[@sarahtveter]

I know you already bought this- but for those with kitchen aid mixers? The corer slicer attachment is amazing. I use it for squash, apples- potatoes, et. Love it and it’s a back saver as well.

[@Sherry8172]

I was just speaking with my daughter about canning apple pie filling. Thanks for posting! I picked apples the other day. A large container full. Just finished with prepping and process of canning apple sauce. Then having fun with my new peeler I just ordered. Pie tomorrow. Thank you for all you do!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Sounds great!

[@brat46]

I have the old fashion version, but I remove the handle and connect a drill to it.

[@pamelaj25]

Leisa. What a dream come true! I have a manual apple peeler but struggle to get the apples on an off of the prongs. I am getting this for my daughter as well! Thank you ❤

[@kathleenwhite988]

OMgoodness that is alot of apples. Enjoy :) be safe be careful love from New Hampshire

[@dag118]

I have carpal tunnel and a trigger finger, this will be a game changer. Thanks Leisa!

[@SuttonsDaze]

You're so welcome!

[@gabbygertie8709]

Last year we watched a video on KZbin about peeling apples. The guy stuck the apple on a wood bit on his battery operated drill. Worked like a charm. I figured out the secret. If you let a guy use his tools their glad to help! Works at my house ! Apples here in W Michigan are $50. A bushel!

[@lindaconley7504]

this is really a time changer. I've been using this for a couple of years of years (only way I can get husband to help peeling is his job now) I use he peelings & core to make apple jelly. Delish

[@trishatolbert2776]

So kitchenAid has an attachment that cores and peels and slices for you as well it’s a bit expensive but it saves so much time!

[@henrycooks1883]

It is a lot of work canning pie filling, my favorite thing to can, used some yesterday making a tart. Can different sizes, the pint jar is good to chop and put in a batch of muffins. Hope the back gets better, it is hard standing when you have canning projects.

[@debbiefockler9890]

I’m getting some apples tomorrow and I will be making apple butter, but I may have to make apple pie filling also. I have some cleargel so I am good to go. I also take my cores and peels and make apple vinegar. Thank you for this timely video. Take care.

[@debrabatt1300]

Hi, If you take all your peelings and use your steam juicer, you will get a few quarts of apple juice.

[@victoriaelizondo5619]

😂 Lisa thank you for sharing Im going to give this a try as well as the Pepper jam. Sending prayers for your back to heal soon and blessings from San Bernardino California 😊

[@mommajessiesboutique]

I'm so getting that one for our next batch! 😮❤🎉

[@pamelawhite5036]

Oh my... I am definitely getting one of those 👍👍 thank you for sharing

[@marciahohn4521]

This all looks wonderful!! Hopefully the back is better SOON!

[@stringkmcc7817]

Oh sweetie, I too have to back issues & I've learned to sit at the table and do everything I can. Hope you feel better soon

[@TheInquisitiveFarmwife]

I have that same peeler! It was a real lifesaver for me when doing potatoes! I went to go use it this year, and the darn thing wouldn’t work. Probably user error, lol! Also, everyone has different back troubles, but for me … I find that having a soft office chair in my kitchen, allows me time to sit and work when I need to.

[@cindyjackson5627]

@Suttons Daze I have the attachment for my Kitchen Aid that peels, cores and slices.

[@loristoneburner4074]

Love my peeler, also great for potato and peach prep. Use those apple and peach peels to make vinegar…you’ve got some cool half gallon jars to make it in. I use Mary’s Nest Method. Fermented Homestead may have some directions…can’t use for canning, because I have no way to measure acidity, but oh how amazing the salad dressings I make taste. Try it!

[@evonnevaughn1824]

That will also do potatoes!!! And...... take the potato peels, spritz with oil, add salt and put in the air fryer! Yum. Add cinnamon and sugar ti the apple peels, and do the same thing!!

[@donnamedley4712]

Beautiful!!!

[@longarmsupplies]

I'm not in love with the noise it makes but if I can't do the work, I might get one some day. I tried the attachment on my daughter's kitchen aide and didn't like it so I'm back to turning a handle(which is faster. than the kitchen aide mess LOL)

[@Foxysvacation]

My family doesn’t like how the clear jell makes the filling gloopy. I’m leaving it out and will thicken when I open the jar for the pie.

[@LauraS1104]

Do you just use a simple syrup?

[@Foxysvacation]

@@LauraS1104 follow the ball recipe and leave out clear jel

[@LauraS1104]

@@Foxysvacation that simple lol thank you!! What do you use to thicken it?

[@debbiee6535]

You can definitely do it like that as well

[@wandagoddard9118]

Oh that happy apple pie rumbling, made me giggle.

[@suegeorge998]

I want one of these! And right now it's on special for black Friday! I'm so excited! I'm getting one for next year's apples.

[@deballen6241]

Hell that last batch I did two years ago. I gave it more than an inch of head space.

[@sueelliott3206]

Thanks for sharing your apple pie filling experience. Very helpful.

[@annshear688]

Those apples look so good. I think I’m going to try to find some where I live and can up some this year. Thanks for the info on the electric peeler.

[@tonihayes4064]

I buy "utility" Golden Delicious apples for pie filling. They are apples with spots & blemishes. I use the hand crank peeler, corer & slicer & it works okay. I'm sure it would work better on more perfect apples without blemishes.

[@Uraniabce]

You can use the electric peeler for potatoes too.😊 You should maybe get a chair that's matches your counter, so you don't have to stand so long.

[@sheri6901]

My husband uses a drill with one of the flat head bits and I use an apple peeler takes seconds!! We still need to use that corer thing to core and slice (then I cut those pieces in half) but the drill works fast!!! 🙂

[@Sunnylane02174]

I just canned some of this a couple days ago! It is great warmed over ice cream. There’s so many uses for it! Thanks for this video! I have more apples to go through! I need to get that peeler!!!😂

[@ellied1701]

My squirrels love apple butter & apple pie filling season…they get the peels & cores. Gonna hafta get this gadget…

[@debmazalan3386]

And look at all those cores and pieces left to make apple ciser vinegar as well! Then they can feed the xhickens after the fruit has fermented to alcohol. No waste at all. Great!

[@Mouserjan0222]

I have a Johnny Apple Peeler it's manual, but it peels cores and slices in one take. It also works for potatoes I love it Sometimes I only peel the apples and use my little round corer and slicer for a thicker slice. OH As an aside: Re Dry canning I'm seeing more and more on the FB boards about people dry canning other vegetables! OMG Green Beans?? NOOOOO

[@jeanniewright2554]

I could smell your apple mixture all the way into Oklahoma!!! Smells like holidays, doesn’t it?!

[@jengoods2246]

I have an apple peeler, corer attachment for my kitchen aid, I love it

[@missperfect2657]

Wow! That apple peeler is great! I like that it can be used with electricity or batteries. I couldn't do all those apples either

[@Stephanie-qk9gq]

Wow I am just catching up on video and that peeler wow this looks great thank you Leisa and the person who sent the link to you I am now going to search for a place I can get one and if it works for apples wonder what it will be like with potatoes 🙂🧡🍁🍂🧡

[@lindascott6637]

I bought one at a yard sale years ago. I loved it and used it for years and finally it broke. I used mine for pealing potatoes mostly

[@solanisomeni]

Oh my... Believe me, my back fully sympathizes with your back!! I have chronic middle of the back pain and standing at the kitchen counter/sink IS a royal pain in the back side!! 😣 Anyhow, I also have been dealing with a TON of apples. I have a neighbor that wasn't going to take care of any of their apples this year and was told that I could come over and pick as many as I wanted... Not something good to say to me... 😂 I of course went totally overboard when I saw all those beautiful large apples and when I was finished, came home with nearly 4 bushels of those "things". I was seriously considering going back a few days later and pick more, since you couldn't even see that we'd made a dent in all the apples that were left... (I came to my senses and said HELL NO!) Thankfully, I had bought from Amazon one of these apple peeler, slicer, corer hand cranked gadgets... Since I knew that if I was going to stand there trying to deal with all these apples, I'd most likely not be able to do anything for the intimidate future... 😱 Other than whimper and wine... Going out on the back porch where I was storing these large crates of apples, so that I wouldn't have even more fruit flies in my house. I hate those pesky things!! I took one look att ALL those apples and my first thought when I looked at them was: Dang!! Someone please shoot me!!! 😲 It was first then, I realized that I was in way over my head! "sigh" Anyhow, I brought in a shopping basket load in to the kitchen to start to process, which didn't even create a dent in one of the crates. Figured out how that apple peeler thingy worked and started peeling, coring and slicing the apples. First disappointment with that thing was that it did not remove ALL of the core, there were still little pieces of core left in some of the slices and since no one in my family, not me, nor any of my adult kids like bits of apple core in our applesauce, pie or whatever, I had to go through every slice and pinch out the remnants of the core... A pain in the rear but, I was just making apple sauce and felt that it still made it easier on my back. Second disappointment was that the slices are very thin... works if you're making applesauce or apple butter but, not for apple pie... Next day, in pain, had to up my pain medication but... Oh well... Next project was apple pie filling. I opted to remove the corer/slicer attachment and only use the peeling function. Much better... That way, I could cut the thickness of the apple slices the size I want them and just leave the core along with the peels, to put in the pot where I was going to make apple jelly when I was finished with my apple pie filling! Works for me! I did not make the filling with any type of sure gel. (can't find that over here in Sweden) I was thinking about using corn starch but, know that it might react strange so, I just cooked the water/apple juice, sugar, and spices. Poured some in the sterilized and hot jars and then in with apples and more syrup, until I had the one inch headspace, which was a good thing to do even without the thickening agent, as it did swell anyway. I think it's the apples that swell, just as much as the thickening agent does... At least I didn't get any seepage while water bathing the apples with only the spiced syrup. I figure when I open a jar to use the apples/syrup when I'm going to make a pie. I can pour the syrup out from the jar into a pan, leaving the apples until last and cook/thicken the syrup with cornstarch! Don't think I'll reattach the corer slicer part to that peeling gadget... All in all, I'm still very happy with it! Well worth the $15 I paid for it from Amazon!

[@gloriahopper6289]

I have a similar crank one. So nice. I just sit at the table and get a big bowl done and then process.

[@kittygianelli6731]

I just wrapped up my apple pie canning. I always cut the sugar in half and for the other half I use Allulose sugar substitute. I even use all allulose in my jams and jellies.
