Apple-licious! Easy-to-make breakfast or dessert syrup uses unfiltered apple juice and a few other common ingredients. This creamy syrup is full of rustic apple flavor and not too sweet with just a touch of tang.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
- 2 cups apple cider
- 0.25 cinnamons stick
- 1 tablespoon apple cider
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
-
1
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Add sugar and molasses; stir until sugar has absorbed molasses and butter, about 3 minutes. The mixture will be very dry. Add 2 cups apple cider. Mix well and bring to a slow boil. Add cinnamon stick and continue to simmer syrup for about 10 minutes.
-
2
Whisk together 1 tablespoon apple cider, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
-
3
Pour cornstarch mixture into syrup in the saucepan, whisking continuously until fully incorporated. Simmer until thickened, with a consistency similar to warm maple syrup, about 5 minutes. The syrup will thicken upon cooling.

Serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Cacio e Pepe Taralli (Savory Italian Pretzels)
Often served with (and dipped in!) white wine, taralli are a fun and versatile Italian snack you can flavor all sorts of ways. This pepper and cheese variety starts with a simple unleavened dough starring white wine and olive oil. Rolled into ropes, then into rings, they're boiled and sprinkled with cheese before baking. Once baked, the cheese forms a crispy wafer in the middle of the ring!
