My sliced apples shrank during canning? (lemmy.world)

Attempting to can apples for the first time and I am pretty confident that I filled the can up to the 1/2" point before the headspace starts. But after I pulled them out of the canner I have a good 1" of only liquid that the apples are floating on.

Did I do something wrong?

Is there a good way to really pack apples into the can before they go into the canner to avoid this wasted space?
