Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes about 1/4-inch in size.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Cook the mixture over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and release their juices.
Pour in the apple cider and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering apple mixture while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the syrup.
Continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or other dishes of your choice.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat before serving.
