Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Apple peels
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Rinse the apple peels thoroughly under cold water to remove any residue or dirt.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple peels and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on to extract the flavor from the peels.
After 20 minutes, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or measuring cup. Discard the apple peels.
Return the strained liquid to the saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the syrup to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving, if desired.
