Apples- Sliced & Shredded (USDA)

APPLES—SLICED USDA
Quantity: An average of 19 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 12-1/4 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs 48 pounds and yields 16 to 19 quarts—an average of 2-3/4 pounds per quart.
Quality: Select apples that are juicy, crispy, and preferably both sweet and tart.
Procedure: Wash, peel, and core apples. To prevent discoloration, slice apples into water containing
ascorbic acid. Raw packs make poor quality products. Place drained slices in large saucepan and add 1 pint water or very light, light, or medium syrup per 5 pounds of sliced apples. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Fill hot jars with hot slices and hot syrup or water, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims . Adjust lids and process.

SHREDDED APPLES
Peel, core and grate apples.  I use an apple peeler and corer then use my Kitchen aid shedder attachment to grate them.  I use a little sugar about 2 TB to ¼ cup of sugar in each jar Fill Jars with shredded apple and pack firmly leaving one inch head space.  IF the apple juice doesn’t cover the apples I add a little water to cover them.  Process water bath for 25 min. 
Recipes I use it in: Apple Muffins, Apple roll, Cinnamon rolls with shredded apples rolled in center
