Transform your breakfast or dessert game with this rich and aromatic Hot Cider Syrup, a cozy fall-inspired treat that's ready in just 20 minutes! Made with apple cider, brown sugar, butter, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this simple yet indulgent syrup is the perfect topping for pancakes, waffles, French toast, or even drizzled over vanilla ice cream. A touch of cornstarch ensures a silky, pourable consistency, while the cider's tangy sweetness shines through in every spoonful. Whether you're hosting a holiday brunch or adding a seasonal twist to your daily favorites, this homemade apple cider syrup will infuse every bite with warmth and comfort.
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!
