Apple Cider Syrup
Warmly spiced and full of fall flavor, this apple cider syrup is amazing on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or in lattes! Best of all, it only takes 3 ingredients and about 30 minutes (of mostly hands-off time) to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider*
- 1 cup light brown sugar dark brown sugar works fine, too
- 1 or 2 3-inch cinnamon sticks use 2 for extra cinnamon flavor
Instructions
- Set a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cider and brown sugar and mix together. Add the cinnamon stick(s) - one is fine, but you can add two for more cinnamon flavor. , combine the cider and brown sugar, then add the cinnamon stick.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the mixture is reduced by about 2/3. Remove from heat and let cool. It will thicken as it cools.
- Store in an airtight mason jar or other container in the fridge for a month or more.
Notes
Yield is about 1 cup of syrup, or 8 (2-tablespoon) servings.
Substitution note: You can use apple juice instead of apple cider, but it will take longer to thicken - I find it's about 10 to 15 minutes longer. Apple juice doesn't end up having as much concentrated apple flavor, either.
