I might have to give this a try tomorrow-I have a big bag of Zestar apples I just got at the orchard yesterday. They are an early apple here in MN and I find them to be a bit softer and juicier than my favorite cooking apples-Haralsons or even Honeycrisp. Would you recommend using a little extra Pie Filling Enhancer or Clear Jel to combat the extra juice? Thanks! Zestar. Now that's a variety I haven't yet tried. Apples are very high in pectin, so they don't need a whole lot of thickening power. I think you should be fine with the recipe as is, but you can add an extra1/8-1/4 tsp if you'd like for reassurance. ~Amy
