Ingredients
– 3 cups chopped green apples (about 4 medium apples)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup water
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped green apples, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the apples are very soft and the liquid has reduced by about half.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
4. Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the apple mixture to separate the solids from the liquid syrup. Discard the solids.
5. Transfer the green apple syrup to a clean jar or container and let cool to room temperature before using.
