In a medium saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and dark corn syrup.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the maple extract and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to a storage container or bottle.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat before serving, if desired.
