APPLE JAM (APPLE PIE IN A JAR)
This is apple jam - something you can't seem to buy - spiced to resemble the taste of most apple pies. Usually there is enough pectin in the apples to make it jell without adding anything. You can use 1 package of pectin (such as SureJel®), if desired.

Steps:
- Combine apples, white sugar, light brown sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice in a pot; bring to a rolling boil. Cook at a boil, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and jam gelling point (220 degrees F (104 degrees C) is reached, at least 45 minutes. Put a small amount of jam on a cold plate; freeze for several minutes. If the mixture is gelled, it is ready to process in a canner.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:
- To make the dough by hand: Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture.
- To make the dough in a food processor: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry, add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade and bring the dough together by hand.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
- For the filling: Put the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges. Toss the apple with the lemon juice. Add the sugar and toss to combine evenly.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apples and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples soften and release most of their juices, about 7 minutes.
- Strain the apples in a colander over a medium bowl to catch all the juice. Shake the colander to get as much liquid as possible. Return the juices to the skillet, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Toss the apples with the reduced juice and spices in a medium bowl. Set aside to cool completely. (This filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.)
- To assemble the pie: Cut the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a disc 11 to 12 inches wide. Layer the dough between pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
- Place a baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with one of the discs of dough, and trim it so it lays about 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pan. Add the apple filling to the pan.
- Use a chef's knife or a pizza cutter and cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 3 hours before serving. The pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Steps:
- For crust:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal.

What Are Apple Pie Preserves?
Apple pie preserves are a type of fruit preserve that is made from diced apples, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. The mixture is cooked down to a thick, jam-like consistency and then canned for long-term storage. Apple pie preserves can be used as a topping or filling for pies, tarts, ice cream, or any other dessert that would benefit from a sweet and tart apple flavor. Some people also enjoy spreading apple pie preserves on toast or crackers for a breakfast or snack.
Why Make Apple Pie Preserves?
Making apple pie preserves is a great way to use up an abundance of apples that are in season. It is also a good way to preserve apples so that you can enjoy their flavor all year long. Homemade apple pie preserves are healthier and more flavorful than store-bought varieties, as they can be customized to your liking and contain no preservatives or additives. Additionally, making apple pie preserves is a fun and satisfying activity that can be done alone or with family and friends.
Ingredients for Apple Pie Preserves
The following are the ingredients that are commonly used in apple pie preserves:
Apples:
The type of apple used will affect the flavor and texture of the final preserve. Some varieties, such as Granny Smith, are tart and firm enough to hold their shape, while others, such as Honeycrisp, are sweeter and softer. You can choose the type of apple that you prefer or use a blend of different varieties.
Sugar:
Sugar is added to the apple mixture to sweeten it and help it thicken. The amount of sugar used can be adjusted to taste, but generally ranges from 1 to 2 cups.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice is added to the mixture to balance out the sweetness and add a bit of tartness. It also helps to preserve the color of the apples and prevent browning.
Cinnamon:
Cinnamon is the traditional spice used in apple pie preserves, as it accentuates the apple flavor and adds warmth and depth. Other spices, such as nutmeg, allspice, or clove, can also be used in combination or instead of cinnamon, depending on personal preferences.
How to Make Apple Pie Preserves
The following are the general steps involved in making apple pie preserves:
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Wash, core, and dice the apples into small, uniform pieces. Some people prefer to leave the skins on for added texture and nutrition, while others prefer to peel them for a smoother finish.
Step 2: Cook the Apples
In a large pot, combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Step 3: Simmer and Stir
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the apples are tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Can the Preserves
Ladle the hot apple pie preserves into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids and rings, and process them in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes. Store the preserves in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
Conclusion
Apple pie preserves are a delicious and versatile way to enjoy the flavors of fall all year long. They are easy to make, customize, and store, and can be used in a variety of sweet and savory applications. Making apple pie preserves is a great way to use up excess apples and enjoy the flavors of the season in a new way.
