Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Dried apple slices
- 1 tbsp Dried orange peel
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Ground allspice
- 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.5 pod Vanilla bean (optional, split and seeds scraped)
Instructions
Place the granulated sugar into a medium mixing bowl.
Finely chop the dried apple slices and dried orange peel into very small pieces, almost like coarse crumbs. Add them to the sugar.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed through the sugar.
If using a vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from the pod and stir them into the sugar mixture for added aromatic flavor. Optionally, you can also bury the empty vanilla pod in the sugar to deepen the flavor further over time. Just remember to remove it later.
Once all ingredients are mixed, transfer the spiced sugar mixture into an airtight jar or container for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake the jar occasionally to redistribute the spices and dried fruits.
Use as a seasoning for apple pies, fruit crumbles, spiced drinks, or other desserts as desired. This spiced sugar keeps well for up to 3 months if stored properly.
