You maybe don't need this information anymore, nearly a year later, but for anyone following this post:
A water bath is when you boil the filled jars to kill any microbes and force the air out of the jar so you get a good seal on it. There's a "button" on the top of jam jars (and even store bought pickles) that lets you know if things are sealed properly – you shouldn't be able to push it down if you haven't opened it before.
You'll need a pot large enough to fit the jars with at least 1 inch of water covering them . It's also a good idea to have a rack so that the jars aren't sitting directly on the stove element and it's easier to load/unload your jars. Boiling times vary for what size jar being used and what elevation you are. You can probably find complete instructions if you google "jam water bath processing" or Bernardin puts out a book with instructions and recipes.

Thank you for the great recipe! I can homemade jam in the summer and this sounds like a great one to make for the house and even Christmas gifts.

[...] Apple Pie Jam: This Apple Pie Jam tastes just like what it sounds like – apple pie filling. Rather than using it as jam on toast (which I’m sure would be tasty as well), I’ve been heating it up and using it as a sauce for pancakes, a glaze for pork chops, etc. Recipe found at Columbus Foodie.

Sounds like a dream. I’m a big fan of apples, but nothing make apples better like spices:)
