I created this recipe one year when I had excess apples. The brown sugar gives the jam a wonderful caramel taste. I'm a retired master baker and cook who enjoys preparing Southern dishes for my wife of 48 years, two sons and five grandchildren.

This is so good, I will definitely be making it again...I also think I would use a little chopper to get the apples more fine, but it was good as is...Very sweet, and yummy!

It's was very good. Little on the sweet side. It was very chunky, so I put half the mixture in a blender to chop it up finer, and kept the other half the way it was so it would be only a little chunky.
