Unsalted butter

HOW TO MAKE APPLE SYRUP, STEP BY STEP:

1. Whisk the cornstarch, cinnamon, and sugar in a saucepan.
2. Add the apple and lemon juice and heat over medium-high heat, whisking frequently until boiling.
3. Boil for 3 minutes then remove from heat and add the butter. Whisk till smooth.
4. The syrup will thicken as it cools. Serve over pancakes or your other favorite things!

WHY IS MY SYRUP RUNNY?

You most likely haven’t boiled it long enough. You will want to boil it long enough where it isn’t super runny and has some thickness to it.

Test this with the back of a spoon to see and reach your desired consistency.

There are so many different things that you can serve this Apple Syrup on, some of our favorites include:

1. Waffles
2. Buttermilk Pancakes
3. French Toast
4. Ice Cream
5. Apple Pie
6. Oatmeal
7. Hot Drink (as a sweetener)
8. Bread Pudding

This recipe really is multipurpose so you really can serve it over any of your favorite things, like I said good for breakfast and dessert!

CAN I USE APPLE CIDER INSTEAD OF JUICE?

Yes! If you want a more intense Fall flavor you can absolutely substitute apple cider in place of the juice if you’d like.

CAN I USE BROWN SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE?

If you really want an intense flavor brown sugar can be used, but I would still use regular granulated sugar.

Just split the sugar measurement in half and use half brown and half granulated.

HOW TO STORE:

This Apple Syrup can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will keep for up to 1-2 weeks.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe as it may separate.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Do not forget the cornstarch, this will help thicken up the syrup.
• It will get thicker as it cools, you can heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop to thin it out for serving.
• You can use half brown sugar and half granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
• Apple cider can be used in place of apple juice.
• Make sure that you are boiling it long enough so the syrup thickens and is not to runny.
• If you want a more rich cinnamon flavor, boil some cinnamon sticks in with the syrup.
• This can be served with a bunch of things, see above for some ideas.
