Canned Apple Pie Filling

I got this recipe for the usda on canning. It does not say to give a water bath so i don't think this recipe needs it, but if you want to, do it about 25 minutes in hot water bath.

Steps

Use firm crisp apples , such as golden delicious , rome or other apples of similar quality.
Wash , peel and core the apples.
Slice them about 1 / 2 inch wide and place in water containing ascorbic acid to prevent browning.
Blanch 2 quarts at a time for 1 minute in boiling water.
While blanching other apples , keep ones already blanched in covered pot to keep warm.
Combine the sugar , clear gelatin and cinnamon in large pot with the water and apple juice , food coloring and nutmeg.
Stir and cook on medium high heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
Drain the apple slices from the water , reserving water.
Add lemon juice to water mixture and boil 1 minute more.
Fold in the apple slices immediately and fill jars with mixture.
Clean the rims and seal the jars.
