Got a lot of apples and don't know what to do with them? If homemade apple pie seems like too much of an undertaking, this jam is just the thing to prolong those delicious fall apples. We love it shmeared on toast with peanut butter, but it would also be delicious stirred into yogurt or spread on top of pancakes or waffles.

2 lb.
apples
1 cup
granulated sugar
2 Tbsp.
lemon juice
1
cinnamon stick

Directions

1. Step 1 Place a small plate in your freezer. Peel, core, and roughly chop your apples into ¾” to 1" pieces.
2. Step 2Combine apples with 1½ cups water in a heavy bottomed pot or sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until fruit is tender and mixture has reduced by ¼, about 15 minutes.
3. Step 3Add the sugar, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is jammy and thick, about 25 minutes more.
4. Step 4Add lemon juice and cinnamon stick if using, and stir to incorporate. Simmer 5 to 7 more minutes to allow cinnamon to infuse. To test if jam is ready, place a small spoonful onto prepared cold plate. Let sit 2 minutes, then drag your finger through the spoonful of jam. If it holds its shape, it's good to go! If it appears runny or watery, continue cooking.
5. Step 5When jam has reached desired consistency, remove cinnamon stick. Divide between clean jars, and seal tightly. Refrigerate. Jam will last up to 2 weeks.
