Drain the jars in a fine mesh strainer, let them sit over a bowl for a bit and naturally drain off the excess.If you just use raw apples for the slice filling the apples won't cook in time and will be to firm in the slice. Again, I prefer to use an extra light syrup for canning, but there are plenty of options to suit every taste. For the filling, place the apple wedges in a bowl, squeeze the lemon juice over them and toss them gently.

A good way to keep this from happening is to be sure to use hot jars, allow the jars to rest for a while in the canner after processing and avoiding sudden temperature changes. I have the dry ingredients including flour all ready to go and whisked up – and then I realised my mistake. They can be strained and used in homemade apple cake, apple shortbread bars or as a simple topping for yogurt, oatmeal or ice cream.So I apologise profusely to all those who find it a real turn off to see a DOG in food photos, but my bottom can’t afford for me to make this ridiculously delicious Apple Cake yet again just so I can get one single shot (I just wanted ONE!
