Apple Pie Filling- Low Sugar

This is a recipe we made up that has a lot less sugar than most of the canned apple pie filling.

6 quarts of different variety's of apples- peeled, cored, and sliced
2 1/2 cups water
5 cups of low or no sugar apple juice
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup stevia (replaces 2 cups of sugar)
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup permaflo (clear-jel or cornstarch)
1/2 cup of lemon juice

1) Cut, peel and core apples to desired pieces. Put in a mixture of 1 gallon of water to 1 tsp of salt to prevent browning.
2) Heat water, juice, sugar, stevia, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Get jars ready during this time.
3) Add lemon juice to the perma flo and mix well. Add this mixture to the pot. Boil for another minute.
4) I filled my jars up with the apples, and then poured the juice on top of them. This juice is more runny than the other filling. This worked well.
5) Prepare jars and water bath them for 25-30minutes. Adjust for altitude.
