Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Great alternative to traditional maple syrup!
  • This recipe is also known as "Boiled Cider" or "Apple Cider Simple Syrup".
  • Perfect for the time of year when you're feeling the itch for apple recipes!

Ingredient Notes

  • Apple Cider - It is essential to use a QUALITY apple cider. Not the watered down from concentrate stuff. Not apple juice. Local fresh apple cider is fantastic! Even your homemade cider will work here. Using a low-quality cider will not give much apple flavor to your syrup.
  • Corn Syrup - You can substitute agave syrup for the corn syrup.
  • Apple Pie Spice - You can pick up a bottle of this spice blend at the local grocery store OR make your own from this Apple Pie Spice recipe.
White sugar, apple cider, corn syrup and apple pie spice.
Super simple ingredients for this apple cider syrup recipe!

How to Make

  • In a medium saucepot on the stovetop, whisk the white sugar, apple cider, corn syrup, and apple pie spice together.
  • Please note a small saucepan is not big enough as this syrup boils up.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • WATCH THE POT! I know, they say a watched pot never boils, but trust me, you're going to want to watch this one. Apple cider not from a concentrate boils up, and if you are not watching, it will happen faster than you think and boil over. Boiled-over hot syrup is truly an awesome mess. So WATCH THE POT!!!
  • Boil the syrup for 3 minutes, whisking constantly.
  • Remove from the heat and cool slightly before pouring into a glass syrup dispenser, mason jar, or similar airtight container.
  • This delicious recipe makes about 2 ยฝ cups of syrup.

FAQs Expert Tips

What kind of apple cider is best?

100% pure apple cider is best. Read the labels before you buy to make sure it is 100% cider and not from concentrate. I also recommend going with a name brand as well to ensure a higher quality; however, if you can get local fresh cider, that'll be your best bet.

Does apple cider syrup need to be refrigerated?

There is a lot of debate about how to store syrups. Some say if there are preservatives in the syrup, you don't, but others say preservations cause it to mold. This recipe obviously has no preservatives. I would also think that the heat and humidity in the area you live in should be considered. Just to be safe, though, store the syrup in the fridge. For more info, visit Food Safety.gov.

How long can you keep this boiled cider syrup?

When stored in the fridge, this syrup is good for 4 weeks.
