I don't know whether to use instant since my apple pie recipe calls for me to cook the apples before adding to the crust. My pies are always soupy!

The instant clear gel will NOT break down and get soupy with heat or freezing for later use like "sure gel". A much better choice.

I used the instant to make apple pie filling for canning, so you can certainly use it in your recipe. It sets up quickly! Personally am would just mix the raw apples, sugar, spices and clear jel together and dump it all into a pie shell ( uncooked) cover with another pie crust cut a vent in the top then bake for about 45 to 55 minutes at 400 degrees. I have been doing it this way for over 50 years!

Instant clear jel is for cold applications like freezer jam. For cooking use the regular clear jel.

Thomas, I was wondering the same thing. In this months'edition of Mother Earth News they featured the Instant Pot. In the article they stated that you can pressure can 4jars (sz not listed) at a time.

Absolutely! It just depends how long you cook it ... Maybe do a minute or less per strip to start, then adjust to preference once you get the idea.

I would make the beef stew and then add the clear jel after you open it. I have used it in apple and peach pie filling and it turned out great.

I use it in pie crust recipes and scones, among other things. I live in Texas and you need to refrigerate the pie crust or freeze it for 10 mins before baking. Otherwise it just slides down the sides of the pie plate in the first few minutes. I got even better results when I froze it then used pie weights (beans) for a pre-baked crust. The scones showed zero difference with the coconut oil when I froze the mix before adding the milk and blending. What you need to think about is making sure the little bits of coconut oil do not melt too fast.

Yes you can. I googled a recipe for the pie crust and located one. It was actually pretty good.

It depends. Apples and other fruit fillings do need to be pre-cooked. Quiche mixtures and batters for desserts do not.

I too was very disappointed with the same results and wasted apples. Try using yours for potatoes- makes good curly frys and corer makes fat frys.

I am hoping you're using a crust first? There are a few well informed articles on the net aka southernliving.com regarding how to properly use a tart pan.

You could try it the are small. When we made individual fruit pies the amount of filling we used was 1 tablespoon. They are just the right size for one serving. Good luck!

Actually yes, but remember they will cook quickly as they will be closer to the baking coils. :D Just watch for browning all the way around thru the viewing window. Can also bake small pies in a pie tin, cook crust first, till lightly brown, then add filling.

No. According to the manual: Use "Quick" for quick breads that do not use yeast and require only mixing and baking.

I don't have any problems with the instant starter. I don't use the grill for steaks or chicken so I don't have a need to reach a version temp. I haven't had a problem with anything I've grilled.

U can use the instant packs. To make from scratch u need to cook in a pot over stove.As for instant.. u pour into cup and stir. That's it.

Some pies have more moisture in the bottom crust, they will take a bit longer to cook. Do as M said, and leave the top open for a few minutes.

Closest I've come to cooking dessert is making a "baked apple". Chop apple, add some suger & cinnamon to taste and let it do for about an hour.
