Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Apples
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples and 2 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
Use an immersion blender to puree the apple mixture until smooth, or carefully transfer the hot mixture to a blender to puree, then return it to the saucepan.
Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to the pureed apples.
Stir the mixture over low-medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the apple syrup, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps.
Continue to cook the syrup on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar or bottle for storage.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and enjoy it over your favorite breakfast items or desserts.
