Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups 100% apple juice
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Small pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour the apple juice into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the apple juice has reduced to about 3/4 cup.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugars are completely dissolved and the syrup is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the syrup to cool before pouring it into a clean syrup bottle or jar. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Keep the apple juice at a gentle simmer while reducing it rather than letting it rapidly boil.
For the strongest apple flavor, make sure the juice reduces to approximately 3/4 cup before adding the sugar.
The syrup will thicken more as it cools.
