TOTAL TIME: 12 minutesminutes
Servings: 24tablespoons (makes about 1½ cups total)
Ingredients
2 cups (400grams)dark brown sugar, (for a lighter, milder syrup use light brown)
2 cups (480ml)apple juice, (good quality with just apple in the ingredients)
2teaspoonsground cinnamon, or apple pie spice
½teaspoonsea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
For the apple brown sugar syrup
Add the brown sugar, apple juice, cinnamon and salt to a small pan. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil then turn down a little to maintain a gently bubbling simmer, stirring or swirling occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, allow to cool a little, then pour into a small jar or other heat proof lidded container.
To make Apple Crisp Drizzle from the syrup
Leave about ½ cup (120ml) of the finished apple brown sugar syrup in the pan after decanting the rest. Put it back over the heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes more (no longer or it will harden up like toffee).
Transfer carefully to a heat proof container. Very hot water will remove any sticky residue left on your pan.
NOTES
Storing - Store syrup in a sealed jar/container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Syrup can also be frozen although some crystallization may occur. To remedy this, once defrosted, warm up the syrup in a small pan. This will dissolve the crystals.If the apple drizzle becomes too thick when refrigerated, warm for 10 to 15 seconds in the jar in the microwave (watch carefully as it bubbles up very quickly), or sit the jar in some hot tap water for a few minutes with something heavy on top to stop it floating.
