**Apple Cinnamon Syrup**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups of apple juice
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 2 cinnamon sticks
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the sugars from burning.
3. As the syrup simmers, the flavors will meld together, and the liquid will reduce slightly, creating a thick and luscious syrup. The apples will soften, and the cinnamon will infuse the syrup with its warm, spicy flavor.
4. After 20-25 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly. Remove the cinnamon sticks and discard them. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. Once the syrup has cooled to your desired consistency, it is ready to be served. Drizzle it over your favorite breakfast dishes like pancakes, waffles, French toast, or oatmeal. The sweet apple flavor combined with the warm cinnamon will elevate your breakfast to a whole new level of deliciousness.
6. Store any leftover syrup in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks. Simply reheat the syrup gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving again.
