I love making Apple Syrup for the fall and the holidays because I know I’ll go through a whole bottle no problem. With all the hosting I do in the fall and winter, having a few bottles already made for breakfast, cocktails, and coffee and tea breaks is a no-brainer and a huge life-saver! This Apple Syrup is SO GOOD, it tastes just like apple pie.

How to Make Apple Syrup
- To a small sauce pot over medium heat, add apple cider, sugar, chopped apples, and spices. If you want a less concentrated apple syrup, split the apple cider with water!
- Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer for 15-25 minutes or until the apples are cooked down and soft.
- Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, strain through a fine mesh sieve, squeezing out as much liquid as you can.
- If the syrup is too thick to strain, add in a little apple cider to thin it out.
- Store it in the fridge for 3-4 weeks (if it even lasts that long!)
How To Use Apple Syrup
- Mix it into your overnight oats or morning oatmeal.
- Drizzle it over ice cream, waffles, and pancakes.
- Mix it into the best fall cocktails ever. Try it in my Apple Pie Sour and my Apple Cider Margaritas.

Xoxo, cheers!
The recipe and the video are far from the same. It looks like you used cinnamon maybe? Instead of sticks? Also you are using a blender and putting in maybe vanilla??
Hello, the section up top mentions water but the below does not. Is there water in this?
it looks like I didn’t finish my train of thought! I edited it to explain that you can use water if you want a little less concentrated flavor of apple cider!
