This Apple Pie Jam captures the essence of homemade apple pie in a delicious, spreadable form. Perfect for toast, scones, or as a filling for pastries, this jam is bursting with warm spices and the sweet, tart flavors of apples. It's a simple way to enjoy the taste of fall any time of year!
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced apples, sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples soften and release their juices, about 15-20 minutes. The mixture will start to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. To test, place a small amount on a chilled plate; it should wrinkle when you push it with your finger.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and combined.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims, place lids and rings on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
