Expert Tips:
- You can use a different type of sugar. Use raw sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, agave, or even honey for your own taste preferences. Unsweetened apple jam turns out just as delicious as sweetened jam.
- If you have an apple preference, you can absolutely roll with it. Granny smith apples will give it a tart flavor, while pink lady will be sweet. Feel free to use red delicious, golden delicious, Fiji, or Gala apples. Any apple variety will taste great in this recipe.
