Ingredients for Apple Cider Syrup

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more, to taste)
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

How to Make Apple Cider Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more, to taste).
  2. Stir in 1 cup apple juice and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until well combined.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
  6. Let the syrup cool slightly before serving over your favorite breakfast treats. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
