Spiced Apple Pie Jam

Apples are abundant in Oregon in late summertime! My family often has more than we know what to do with, so jam is another great way to use them up after making pies and crisps and giving some away to neighbors. This easy, 30 minute jam recipe uses tart, fresh granny smith apples and the result tastes just like pie filling! It’s great on pancakes and waffles, topped with a bit of freshly whipped cream.

  1. Just wondering if the Apple pie jam recipe is correct…. It says to add spices… But ground cinnamon is listed twice?

  2. I loved your Apple Pie Jam recipe. But I think I noticed a mistake. You have cinnamon listed twice. Was part of the cinnamon supposed to go in with the apples while cooking? Also, you didn’t mention if the apples have to be peeled and cored. I assume yes.

    • Hi Leslie, thank you for catching that! 🙂 I’ve updated the recipe- the second spice should have been nutmeg. And yes peeled and cut apples is correct
