This apple cider syrup recipe is version of a pantry ready breakfast staple. This apple syrup can be poured over french toast, drizzled on pancakes, you name it...all with the taste of fresh apple pie!
But of course, there's a twist we're gonna use so you can make this any day of the year, not just during apple season. Everything you need is at your local grocery store and then is in your freezer and pantry!
If you're looking for an old school boiled cider recipe, King Arthur Baking has a great one. It involves measuring temperature, storing in a dark place, and a bunch of other things I don't want to be bothered with.
My mom swears by the stuff in her baking and has a bottle she holds tight to!
But, I'm looking for the easy button here which is why I'm heading to the apple orchard instead.
When apple season is boomin', you better believe we are hustling down there for a gallon of fresh apple cider and fresh fruit so we can make all the apple recipes !
Okay, and we usually grab a few (dozen) apple cider donuts. Because they're heaven on earth and I think they were invented to be enjoyed.
Anyway, apple everything is my favorite ingredient of the fall.
During the times of year when a freshly pressed gallon of cider isn't at the ready, this is my favorite way to make apple cider syrup.
