This apple juice reduction is a one-ingredient apple syrup made by gently boiling apple juice down to a thick, naturally sweet reduction. Use it as a refined-sugar-free sweetener in desserts, or drizzle it over ice cream, oatmeal, crepes, and pancakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 liter freshly made apple juice
  • 1 pinch of ground cinnamon

* If needed, please refer to Baking Conversion Charts.

Instructions

  1. Pour freshly made apple juice into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let it boil for about 45 minutes.
  2. Stir regularly, but after the first 25 minutes of cooking, watch the saucepan closely to ensure the apple preparation doesn't burn; continue stirring constantly.
  3. Cook until the juice reaches a nice syrupy consistency and reduces to about 2/3 cup (200 grams). Add a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired and mix. Let it cool.

Notes

  1. Replace homemade apple juice with a store-bought unfiltered apple juice with no added sugar.
  2. Store the apple juice reduction in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
