Ingredients to make sugar-free apple and cinnamon jam

Wash the apples carefully under running water. Peel them and discard the seeds. Cut them into uniform sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the apple pieces in a large saucepan with the water and lemon juice. Turn on the heat to medium temperature and bring everything to a boil.
Once the apples have started to boil, add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well and reduce heat.
Cook over low heat for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and turn into a kind of puree.
When the apples are soft enough to mash easily with a fork, turn off the heat and use a kitchen utensil such as a potato masher or fork to mash them until smooth.
Return the saucepan to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the jam reaches the desired consistency. This will take approximately another 15-20 minutes.
Once the desired consistency has been reached, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Pour the still hot jam into sterilized glass jars and close them tightly.
Let cool completely to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.

Select fresh, ripe apples to ensure the best flavor. Varieties such as Fuji, Gala or Golden Delicious are often outstanding choices for making jam due to their natural sweetness.
Adjust the amount of water and lemon juice appropriately to cook the apples. The water makes the apples easier to cook, while the lemon juice enhances the flavor and prevents oxidation.
Mash the cooked apples until you achieve the desired consistency. You can leave some small pieces to add texture to the jam or mash completely for a smoother jam.
After making, let the jam cool completely before transferring it to sterilized jars. Store it in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness.
Be sure to use clean, sterilized utensils throughout the process to avoid contamination and ensure a jam that is safe for consumption.
