How to Make Cinnamon Apple Syrup From Peel

  1. Combine 4 cups apple peels, 2 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon in a large stockpot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the apple peels have softened and lost their bright color, stirring occasionally.
  4. Carefully remove the softened apple peels using tongs or a slotted spoon.
  5. Continue to simmer the syrup over medium-low heat for another 30-45 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by half and thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. To test the consistency, dip a spoon into the syrup, let it cool slightly, then run your finger across the back of the spoon. If the syrup forms a thin line that doesn't immediately run back together, it's ready.
  7. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely before storing.
  8. Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or can for longer storage (following proper canning procedures).
