Apple Cinnamon Syrup

(12 servings)

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups apple cider (apple juice works too)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 and 1/2 Tablespoon real lemon juice
In a sauce pan combine all ingredients except the butter. Bring mixture to a low boil, stiring often. Reduce heat to low and add butter. Stir until butter is melted and well mixed.

Serve warm over pancakes or waffles.

This stores well in the refridgerator for a week. Warm in a sauce pan or microwave oven before using again.


I haven't bought syrup from the grocery store in years thanks to this and a couple other homemade syrup recipes. Enjoy!
