I used about ten pounds of granny smith apples, a ton of sugar, and an 85 year-old woman to successfully make 12 half-pint sized jars of carmel apple jam. The jam has more of a apple pie filling flavor than carmel apple, but who wouldn't want to wake up and eat apple pie on toast?
Caramel Apple Jam (makes 12 8oz jars, plus a little extra)

1 cup water
1 Tb butter
2 (1.75oz) packages of Pectin
6 cups white sugar
8 cups brown sugar
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1tsp nutmeg.
Wash jars, and place jar, mouth side up on a baking sheet. Place in oven, bake jars at 275 until jam is prepared. Place lids in a sauce pan with water, cook over medium heat until it starts to boil, then turn to low or off, lids need to be very hot when put on the jars. Begin to heat a large dutch oven, or large pot filled with at least 6 inches of water (enough to fully submerge standing jars).

Using a wide-mouth funnel ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 headspace. Make sure that the mouth of the jar is jam-free! If there is jam present, wipe it off with a wet paper towel, then place hot lids on jars and seal with the outer ring, somewhat tightly. Once the jars are shut place them in the dutch oven full of water. Boil the jars for ten minutes, then remove from the water and allow the jars to seal.
