-
Add Sugar: Stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved, ensuring it blends evenly with the apple juice.

Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Add Cinnamon: Place the cinnamon stick into the glass bottle, allowing its aromatic flavors to infuse into the syrup.
-
Transfer Syrup: Carefully pour the warm apple syrup into the prepared glass bottle, using a funnel if necessary to avoid spills.
-
Seal Bottle: Securely close the bottle to preserve the freshness of the syrup and to lock in the cinnamon’s essence.
-
Chill: Place the sealed bottle of syrup in the refrigerator until it is ready to be used, allowing the flavors to further develop and intensify.
-
Serve: When ready to enjoy, simply warm the syrup before serving. Drizzle it generously over pancakes, waffles, or any other dish that calls for a touch of sweetness.
