Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped apples (peeled and cored)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the apples are soft and the liquid thickens slightly.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture until smooth.
5. If you prefer a chunkier syrup, you can skip this step and leave some apple pieces in the syrup.
6. Once blended, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
7. Let the syrup cool completely before storing it in a jar or bottle.
8. Serve the cinnamon apple syrup warm or cold over your favorite breakfast dishes or desserts.
