Notes
This recipe will fill one quart freezer bag. I often times will triple the recipe to do a few bags worth at time. Tripling the recipe still easily fits into my Dutch Oven.
I use brown sugar since it carmelizes a bit and I really love that in my apple pies. White sugar could also be used and substituted 1:1.
Depending one which apples you use, some will be juicier than others. If yours appears to be getting pretty juicy, add a little more cornstarch to thicken it up.
