Apple Pie Jam is a delicious way to preserve apples and have “fresh” apple pie all year long. It tastes just like apple pie minus the crust.

Apple Pie Jam tastes so much like apple pie. You won’t believe how good it is. And now you can have “apple pie” without all the work each time.  This jam would be amazing on toast, but also on so many other things like sugar cookies, yogurt, French toast, pancakes, and ice cream. Your imagination is the limit.
