Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh apples
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, then cut them into small chunks. There's no need to peel them as the skins will add flavor and pectin for thickening.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple chunks and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the apples are very soft and start to break down.
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the apple mixture into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Return the apple liquid to the saucepan. Add the ground cinnamon and lemon juice.
Over medium heat, continue to cook the syrup, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to your desired consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the apple syrup to a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Use within two weeks for the best flavor.
