Getting ready for winter in advance, replenishing our supplies with delicious homemade apple jam with cinnamon. This combination is quite successful; cinnamon, like no other spice, perfectly complements and emphasizes the taste of apples. Prepare homogeneous jam, optionally in slices.
As a result, we get a taste that is not too cloying, the jam is moderately sweet and with a subtle hint of kritsa. You can serve the jam on freshly baked buns or toast; such jam will be an excellent filling for pies and pies. So, let’s prepare everything we need and get started.
Ingredients:
apples – 1100 g
sugar – 650 g
ground cinnamon – 2-2.5 tsp.
water – 150 ml.
Apple jam with cinnamon: Preparation process
We choose apples at the market or pick them in the garden, preferably sweet and sour, dense in structure, and strong. Wash the apples under cool water and dry. From our quantity of apples - 1100 g, we cut out the core, in the end we get one kilogram of peeled apples. Cut the peeled apples into arbitrary pieces.
Take a blender bowl and install a “metal knife” attachment; if you don’t have a blender, you can use a regular grater or meat grinder; a food processor with a “grater” attachment is also suitable. In general, we do what is easier and faster. We throw all the apple slices into the blender; if the volume of the bowl does not allow, we do the process in portions.
Pour in a portion of filtered water, turn on the blender at full power, grind everything for a few minutes until you end up with a fine-grained mass.
Transfer the apple puree into a thick-bottomed saucepan or saucepan.
Add a portion of granulated sugar to the apples.
Next, pour the required amount of ground cinnamon into the apples. If you use cinnamon sticks, add two pieces; after cooking the jam, be sure to filter them. You can also replace cinnamon with vanilla or your favorite spice. Add all spices solely according to your taste preferences.
Place the saucepan on the stove, turn on the burner to moderate heat, and cook the apple jam for one hour, with not much bubbling. After one hour, you will notice that the jam begins to “stick” to the walls of the saucepan, turn off the stove. Take an immersion blender, puree for a few minutes until smooth, leaving pieces if desired. Boil the jam for the last time – 3-4 minutes.
We pack the hot aromatic mixture into dry and sterile jars, which we took care of in advance.
Seal the jam hermetically with a screw key. We turn the jars upside down, immediately wrap them in a warm blanket, and leave them for a day. To store the jam, put it in a cool room.
According to many, apples and cinnamon are the perfect combination. Cinnamon is almost always added to apple pies and various desserts with these fruits to make the aroma of the dish even more seductive. Extraordinarily tasty apple jam 
with cinnamon, its luxurious aroma leaves no one indifferent. And making such jam is no more difficult than regular jam.
The scent of home
Cinnamon is one of the most popular spices in the world. Most people associate the rich cinnamon aroma with the warmth of a home. According to numerous studies, the smell of cinnamon promotes trust in relationships: it is impossible to believe that a person who smells of cinnamon is plotting evil or may be dishonest. It is not surprising that this aroma is used by both perfumers when praising perfumes, and marketers who dream of attracting as many visitors as possible to a store or cafe.
Cinnamon is also used in medicine. For example, warm baths with cinnamon are used to prevent colds. A mixture of cinnamon and honey is an excellent cough remedy. This spice has a diuretic effect, helps reduce fever, and facilitates the digestion of heavy and fatty foods. Cinnamon is an excellent and tasty remedy for cardiovascular diseases: by consuming a pinch of cinnamon daily as part of various dishes, you can effectively fight atherosclerosis. Many people manage to lose weight with the help of cinnamon. Of course, buns with this spice will not help you lose weight, but the aromatic cinnamon-based drink helps burn fat. And kefir with cinnamon, drunk at night, helps reduce blood pressure and fall asleep quickly.
And yet, cinnamon finds its main use, of course, in cooking. This is one of the few spices that is actively used in the production of baked goods and desserts; cinnamon is also sometimes added to fatty meat. Cinnamon also goes very well with dairy products - cottage cheese, cream, kefir; this spice perfectly complements the taste of fruits, especially apples. It’s not for nothing that the combination of apples and cinnamon is considered ideal: almost all apple pies contain this spice, and many desserts, such as baked apples, jellies and mousses, cannot do without it. Banal apple jam, to which a pinch of cinnamon is added, acquires a delicious taste. The sweetish taste of this spice allows you to use less sugar when preparing this jam, which makes the delicacy less high in calories.
Right choice
Once upon a time, cinnamon was incredibly expensive. Now the cost of this spice has decreased, and yet instead of natural cinnamon, substitutes that do not have beneficial properties are often used - for example, cinnamon flavoring or cinnamon tree seeds, which are not at all as healthy and aromatic as its bark.
As a rule, it is impossible to distinguish a fake by eye. Therefore, it is best to buy cinnamon sticks rather than ground spice. This spice is more expensive, but it is impossible to fake it; in addition, cinnamon in sticks retains its aroma and beneficial properties much better than ground cinnamon.
Apple jam with cinnamon
To prevent cinnamon jam from seeming cloying, it is better to cook it from sour or sweet and sour apples. For a kilogram of apples you should take one kilogram of sugar. Washed and peeled apples should be cut into small slices and covered with sugar. After a couple of hours, when the fruits give juice, you can start making jam.
It is best to cook jam in a wide bowl made of copper or stainless steel. Cooking should be done over low or medium heat. All foam must be skimmed off during cooking. When the syrup thickens and the apple slices become transparent, add a coffee spoon of cinnamon to the jam and stir thoroughly. Place the finished jam in clean, dry jars, seal and cool.

Apple jam with cinnamon for the winter can be an excellent opportunity to show a little imagination in such an important and necessary matter as. You can’t even imagine how well the traditional ingredients for making apple jam with cinnamon - in the form of sticks or ground - combine well. In addition, you can add other spices. For example, cardamom, ginger, star anise, vanilla, orange and lemon zest. A great way to diversify the unrivaled apple flavor is to add berries. Oddly enough, it is the berries (and not fruits, as one might think) that give the desired flavor to the thick sweet preparation with the aroma of cinnamon.
What about thickness? If desired, apple jam with cinnamon can be prepared according to the five-minute principle, keeping the pieces whole and only slightly boiling the syrup, which perfectly soaks the apple slices - the resulting beauty is indescribable! If you still like it thicker, use the recipe for a slow cooker: in the “Stew” mode, apple jam can easily be cooked for any amount of time you need and you will always have time to press the button to stop this process. And some people like to chop apples in advance, mixing it with other ingredients - you get a jam-like product.
No one will stop you from choosing an apple jam recipe to suit your taste. Just before you start cooking, check if you have everything you need.
Apple jam with cinnamon and lemon
I can’t help it - I love him, that’s all. Both large apples and small fruits are suitable for preparing dessert. The jam takes quite a long time to prepare, but the cooking process itself is extremely simple. You will need non-stick cookware.
Ingredients:
- 3 kilograms of apples;
- 2 medium sized lemons;
- 2 level teaspoons of ground cinnamon;
- 2.5 kilograms of sugar.
Preparation:
Please note that this jam does not contain water or sugar syrup. Before cooking, fruits must be thoroughly washed and then cut into small pieces. Sprinkle sugar on top. Leave for 5-6 hours (during this time, the apple pieces should release enough juice), then stir, and then squeeze the juice from the lemons into this mass. Cook for no more than 15 minutes - during this time the apple slices will be saturated with sweet juice and begin to soften. You need to remove the pan from the stove, cool the jam completely, and then prepare sterile jars and lids. In the second, also known as the final approach, the workpiece is cooked until thickened. Before starting the second cooking, you need to add ground cinnamon. When the fruit mass darkens and thickens, cooking must be stopped. Roll up the apple jam while it’s hot; don’t forget to rinse the lids with boiling water before doing so.
By the way, jam from apples, cinnamon and lemons can be prepared in a slow cooker. To do this, simply replace the usual pan or bowl for cooking fruit with the multicooker bowl. For the first time, prepare the same way: pour granulated sugar directly into the bowl of apple slices, leave until the juice is released. Then pour in the squeezed juice from the lemons, mix everything, boil the apple mixture for 15 minutes in the “Stew” mode, then turn off the multicooker and let the future jam cool. The second cooking also lasts on the “Stew” program until the contents of the bowl begin to noticeably thicken. Don't forget to stir and add ground cinnamon. Roll into sterile jars.
Apple jam with cinnamon and star anise
Insanely aromatic winter jam made from ripe apples. Thanks to cinnamon and cloves with star anise, the jam turns out very tasty and has a beautiful rich color. Ideal for making toast. To prepare this homemade apple delicacy, only apples of sweet and sour varieties with a sufficient content of natural thickener - pectin - are suitable. It is he who guarantees the desired consistency of the workpiece.
Ingredients:
- 3 kilograms of apples;
- 2.5 kilograms of granulated sugar;
- a third of a teaspoon of citric acid;
- 2 glasses of drinking water;
- 3 cinnamon sticks;
- 3 star anise;
- 2-3 buds of cloves (dried) optional.
Preparation:
First you need to wash the apples and leave them to dry. Prepare syrup from water and sugar directly in a container for making jam. Add spices and citric acid to the syrup, 5 minutes after boiling, cut the fruits into small pieces directly into the syrup. Cook 3-4 times for 5 minutes. Cook for the first time a little longer - 7-8 minutes. Between cooking, leave the jam to cool completely. Twist into sterile jars, removing spices from the hot jam (during storage they give off a bitter taste, so it is not advisable to leave them inside the jars).
Apple jam with cinnamon and oranges
When you want something sweet, tasty and unusual, try making apple and orange jam. The apples themselves are fragrant, and the juicy orange gives the dessert a piquant citrus note and an original light bitterness. And cinnamon completes the wonderful flavor bouquet. I note that the apple slices are mixed not with orange juice, but with the fruits themselves, which will first need to be cut into neat circles, completely removing the seeds. Sometimes it is also advised to boil orange slices before adding them to the preparation, but I usually don’t do this - I don’t think it’s necessary.
Ingredients:
- 2 kilograms of apples of any variety;
- 2 large ripe oranges;
- 1.5 kilograms of granulated sugar;
- half a glass of water;
- 1 level teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Preparation:
The best place to start is by preparing the fruit. Wash apples and oranges first with hot running water, then with cold water. You can use a brush to remove dirt from the skin of the fruit. Cut the oranges into slices without peeling them, remove the seeds, and pour hot syrup made from sugar and water. The syrup will be very thick, that's okay. After boiling the orange for 10 minutes, add apples cut into beautiful slices. They also should not be peeled - firstly, it contains pectin, and secondly, why waste time?
After this, you need to boil the contents of the pan until the fruit mass noticeably thickens, add cinnamon, stir, wait for it to boil again and roll up. The total cooking time for this jam is about an hour. You can cook longer, then the apple-orange mixture will turn out thick, similar to marmalade. Now decide for yourself whether you want it or not.

100 ml water.
From the specified amount of ingredients I got 3 0.35-liter jars.
Cooking steps
We cut the apples into medium slices (if the slices are thin, they will fall apart during cooking; if the slices are very large, then most likely you will not get an amber-transparent effect). 
Then put the apples on the fire and bring them to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally, distributing them evenly in the syrup. 
Cook over low heat for 5 minutes and immediately turn off the heat.
Let the apple slices cool and soak in the syrup for 2 hours.
