How to Make Apple Cider Syrup
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more, to taste).
- Stir in 1 cup apple juice and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until well combined.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
- Let the syrup cool slightly before serving over your favorite breakfast treats. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
