Jill's Apple Chuck Roast

The lady I work for (Jill) developed this recipe with her own Jill's Apple Pie Jam (good stuff), but I didnt have it in the kitchen this morning so I made my own version. This is good for sandwiches or (my favorite) over mashed potatoes, very delicious. This works best in the crockpot.
