Recipe

Remove the core and skin from the apples, then measure out 1kg of flesh.
Cut the apple flesh into small 0.5cm dice to preserve texture.
Gradually mix in the measured sugar while tossing to prevent browning.
Transfer the sugar-coated apples to a pot, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
After 25 minutes, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking uncovered for another 25 minutes.
Squeeze one lemon during boiling to add 3–4 tablespoons of juice, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
Test the consistency by dripping a small amount into cold water—if it holds its shape without spreading, add 1/5 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and mix well.
Immediately transfer the hot jam into sterilized glass jars, let cool completely, then seal and refrigerate.

Dice apples into 0.5cm pieces, mix with sugar, and place in a pot.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes; uncover and cook on low heat with lemon juice for another 25 minutes.
Test consistency in cold water, add cinnamon powder, then transfer to sterilized jars and cool.

Cooking tips

Instead of chopping apples with a knife, thinly slice them, soak in sugar, then briefly blend with a hand blender to save time.
For longer storage, increase sugar to nearly a 1:1 ratio with apple flesh.
Use only a small amount of cinnamon powder—too much will overpower the natural freshness of apple and lemon.
