Whipping up a batch of this Apple Crisp Syrup is easier than you might guess and it’ll have your house smelling like a fall wonderland as it simmers. All you need to make it is: apple cider, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmeg, and Honeycrisp apples. When you go to strain the syrup after simmering it hard for a good 20 minutes, be sure to press any remaining juices you can from the now very tender apple slices. Then save the apple slices as a yummy, near-applesauce snack!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Apple Crisp Syrup at home:

• Apple cider – Get the good, fresh stuff for best results. The flavor won’t be the same if you opt for apple juice instead.
• Brown sugar – Light or dark will work great!
• Apples – I like Honeycrisp apples for this syrup since they have a great balance of sweet and tart, plus lots of flavor!
• Whole spices (Cinnamon sticks and nutmeg)– If you can’t find or don’t want to buy whole spices, you can opt for 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg (or 1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice). I personally prefer the whole spices so that the flavors infuse into the syrup as it cooks down and you’re not left with any grittiness from the ground spices.
