Christmas Foodie No. 3: Pie in a Jar

October 19, 2011 by lacylu42

We’ve all seen those ubiquitous cookie mixes, cake mixes, and brownie mixes layered in jars to give as gifts, but what about pie in a jar?

Well, not a whole pie. (Those are super cute, but they also look super labor-intensive.)

How about just the pie filling?

I was looking for a way to use up some of the many (many, MANY) apples I have on hand—from my back yard tree, my CSA and my foraging friend—and stumbled upon a recipe for preserved apple pie filling.  What a great idea!

And with my peeler-corer-slicer, it’s pretty quick work.

Do you think it would be tacky to package these with coupons for Pillsbury refrigerated pie dough?  ;)

Total Price: $1.16 each for 7 pints
12 apples (free)
$0.83 each for seven Ball pint jars (new)
~$0.50 for spices
~$1.00 for organic sugar
