Notes: A pound of whole apples will yield about 3 cups prepared diced apples. You can make several recipes in the fall when apples are in season. Two recipes will fit in a 9 x 13 pan. You can also make this ahead and freeze it in the pan so that it is ready to bake. If you are making one recipe/batch at a time you can save the lemon juice from the first batch and reuse it for the next batches. Make sure to measure the lemon juice to see if you need to add more to reach the correct measurement
