Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh apples
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple chunks and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Return the apple liquid to the saucepan. Add the ground cinnamon and lemon juice.
Step 6
Over medium heat, continue to cook the syrup, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to your desired consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the apple syrup to a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Use within two weeks for the best flavor.
