Warm Apple Syrup Recipe

3/4 cup plus 2 tsp. apple juice, divided
1/2 cup molasses, honey, or maple syrup
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apple (about 2 medium)
2 tsp. cornstarch

Combine 3/4 cup of the apple juice and all of the molasses and apples in a 1-qt. saucepan. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Combine the cornstarch and the remaining 2 teaspoons of apple juice in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the pan, and cook and stir for 1 minute, or until the mixture is slightly thickened.

Serve warm over pancakes, French toast, or waffles.

Yield: 1 3/4 cups
