I have a baby shower to host soon. I am not much of a baker when it comes to pies and fruits. My questions for the experienced pie makersirate… 1) can you use premade apple filling and just add a dash of cinnamon? 2) if not, how long do you need to bake the apples to be tender and how much cinnamon is sufficient for each jar? I think these would make great favors and I would like to make about 30. Thanks!

Do you think I could prepare these on Wednesday to bake and serve Friday night without freezing them?

I know several people who have sent “cakes in a jar” to Afghanistan but since these have so much moisture in them… I would personally be a little hesitant. What is the mail time like these days? Years ago it would take 3-4 weeks to get there. When I was in Iraq a few years ago, it took less than a week. If mail is going quickly – it might be ok. I would bake them completely for sure… and follow canning protocols re: sterilizing the jars/lids/etc. As soon as they come out of the oven – put the lids on and let them seal. Use a flat rate priority box and pad well.

I haven’t had a jar break yet and I haven’t heard of this happening to anyone else either. If you’re worried, you might want to leave an half inch or so of space at the top of the jar.

Has anyone had a jar break in the freezer because of being so full? Just worried about the filling expanding.
