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:
- Make the preferred pie crust recipe.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Using the ring from the jar lid, cut 8 circles from the dough, the circles will be the tops of your pies. Line each 1/2-pint glass, oven-safe jar with the remaining dough. Working with the dough as little as possible, make sure that the dough is pressed tightly against the entire surface area of the jar with the exception of 1/2-inch at the top.
- Once each jar is lined with pie dough, fill with 1/2 cup preferred pie filling.
- Top each pie with the pie dough circles or create a lattice pattern or crumb topping to go on top. Make sure you vent the top of the crust by creating a slit so that steam can escape. Using your fingers, or a fork, press the 2 pieces of dough together.
- Brush each pie crust with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Seal each jar with metal lid and place in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
- If baking pies fresh, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If baking pies that have been frozen, bring them to room temperature before placing in the oven

APPLE PIE IN A JAR
This is delicious. It can be eaten straight out of the jar, baked in a pie shell, served over ice cream, etc. It is tricky to NOT make a mess, but it is so worth the stickiness!

Steps:
- Heat 7 1 quart jars while peeling the apples, I pour lemon juice on them to keep them from browning. Once the apples are peeled mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water in a large kettle. Heat this over high heat, stirring almost constantly. Bring to a boil, remove the jars from the boiling water and fill with the raw apples. When the sauce is ready it will be clear and thick. Pour the sauce over the apples in the jars, using a knife around the edges to release air bubbles. Fill to 3/4 of an inch from the top. Wipe the rims, place lids on jars, boil in a boiling water bath for twenty minutes. Sometimes they do ooze after being removed from the heat, these I put in the refrigerator and they are eaten first!

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Make sure the jar is clean: Wash the jar and lid thoroughly with hot soapy water and rinse well. Make sure the jar is completely dry before filling it with the apple pie filling.
- Don't overfill the jar: Leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top of the jar so that the pie filling has room to expand during baking.
- Seal the jar tightly: Use a new lid and ring each time you seal a jar. Tighten the lid until it is fingertip tight. Process the jar in a boiling water bath for the recommended time.
- Store the jars in a cool, dark place: Once the jars are sealed, they can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
