Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened apple juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the agave syrup and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract, unsweetened apple juice, and a pinch of salt.
Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a heat-safe, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use as a 1:1 substitute for maple syrup in recipes or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or desserts.
