Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh apples
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Core and chop the apples into small pieces, leaving the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 2 cups of water, and the cinnamon stick.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth.
Step 5
Strain the pureed apples through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth back into the saucepan, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 6
Return the liquid to heat and mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Step 8
Slowly stir the cornstarch mixture into the apple syrup, cooking over medium heat until the syrup thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
Step 9
Adjust the consistency by adding a little more water if needed, and cook for an additional minute.
Step 10
Remove from heat, let it cool to room temperature, and transfer the syrup to a glass jar or bottle for storage.
Step 11
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and shake well before use.
