Apple Pie Bourbon Syrup
A simple syrup that has all the flavors of apple pie. It is a zero waste recipe as we use the apple peels and core to make it with the addition of cinnamon, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla and some bourbon.
Equipment
- Medium sauce pot
- Wooden spoon
- Blender
- Strainer
- Glass Bottle
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 2 tsp Tapioca starch
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1/3 cup Bourbon check notes for non alcoholic option
Instructions
- The apple scraps are boiled in a medium sauce pot over high heat with maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, tapioca starch, salt and water until thick. It will start to bubble and then rise, reduce the heat and let it reduce to half. Around 8-10 mins.
- Take off the heat and transfer it to a heat resistant and add vanilla with some bourbon. Stir and let it sit until the flavors get to know each other while it cools down completely.
- Once cooled, strain out the peels and core (what you will be left with is a thinner syrup) BUT this is what I like to do - blend the mixture together and then strain it. So we get a thicker and well bodied syrup instead.
Notes
- Since this is a bourbon syrup and the alcohol is not cooked off I wouldn’t recommend it for consumption for kids.
- If you wan to make this alcohol free, add the same amount of water in the beginning and boil it all together before reducing, cooling and straining.
- If blending the mixture to make the syrup, you can add reduce a little bourbon for consistency. Increase the bourbon up to 1/2 cup and reduce it to 1/4 cup if needed.
