Cinnamon Apple Syrup from Peel
"This is a yummy way to use up apple peels. I like to cook apples during the fall to freeze for a winter side dish. I always hated throwing away the peelings. I modified a recipe that I found online until I got a consistancy and flavor that I am happy with. I enjoy using tart apples like Cortland or Winesap. My whole family loves this syrup. It is especially tasty when poured over Cinnamon Pecan Pancakes :) I love to have this simmering on the stove, it makes the house smell wonderful!"

This was amazing! We put it on pancakes and french toast. I cannot believe how simple it was. The cooking took a lot longer than I expected, but I'm SO glad I found this recipe. I used about 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for half of the recipe because it didn't specify how much, and it turned out fabulous. -
This was great and made enough for our pancakes with Santa at our school. I froze it and we thawed it at room temperature and heated up in a crockpot. The kids loved it. Thank you!! made from something I would have probably thrown away and some sugar.
