- Bring sugar and 3 tbsp water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Boil, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides of pan, until mixture turns a deep amber color, about 4 minutes.
- Add apples and vanilla bean and stir to coat. Add spices like cinnamon sticks, ground clove, or fresh grated ginger if wanting.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally to help the apples cook evenly and dissolve any pieces of caramel.
- Continue to cook until apples are translucent and softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 20–25 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Discard vanilla bean and store apple jam in a glass jar or container in the fridge for up to one month.
