Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, butter, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the butter fully melts and the sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the cider mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the syrup thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving.
Transfer the syrup to a heatproof container for pouring or storing. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or your favorite desserts. Enjoy!
