How to Make Apple Syrup

  1. In a large, deep pot, combine chopped apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, lemon juice, and butter.
  2. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  3. Carefully puree the softened apples using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and puree until smooth.
  4. Return the pureed apples to the pot.
  5. Add the sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water until a smooth slurry forms, with no lumps.
  9. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering apple mixture. Continue to stir until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  11. Pour the apple syrup into a clean, sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
