Around our house, Saturday breakfasts are a time to relax. So I like to serve my family's favorite French toast topped with this homemade syrup. After such a satisfying meal, everyone slowly eases into their hectic day ahead.
Really good, very much like Cracker Barrel's cinnamon apples. I made it for pancakes and it seemed like there wasn't ennough of the syrup, compared to the apples, so I doubled brown sugar, cornstarch, water and butter. I did not add any more cinnamon, and it was cinnamony enough. Simply delicious. We had a quite a few apple slices left after the breakfast, and my husband ate them all straight out of pan. He loved it and so did I!

DELICIOUS, but very sweet! I halved the recipe and used granny smith apples. I followed the recipe and feel that it has too much sugar. I did use this recipe on plain crepes (Norwegian Pancakes - Pannekaken) so it worked. Next time I will cut back on the sugar.
I kept the syrup amount the same but used one very large Granny Smith apple. I served this over my homemade "frozen" waffles and the kids absolutely loved it. Big hit. Next time, I think I'll try this with apple pie spice.
I really like this recipe. I've added nutmeg as another great spice in addition to the cinnamon. And like other commenters, I've added more water to make the consistency more what I expected. If you get too much water, just cook it down a bit longer and you get an even nicer syrupy consistency. This works well on top of waffles, crepes, and I'm excited to try it on top of French Toast soon too.
I'm a nut for cooked apples. I loved this. My husband isn't a big pancake fan, but I am, so I try to find different ways for pancakes, that I know I'll like, and hope my husband does. And he liked these. Yea! I doubled the sauce and used 4 apples. Added alittle freshly grated nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and a tsp. of vanilla. Thanks! for a different syrup. I have left overs, it'll go very well with some ice cream tonight. :)
Overall good recipe. I found I cut my apples too thick. They still had a bit of crunch to them. I really liked them more on the soggy side. I guess it would just depend on preference. Next time I will use my mandolin for even slicing.
excellent! It’s like eating apple pie without the crust. If I’m using it as a syrup though, I prefer to dice the apples into small cubes. Goes great with crepes.

Because I needed just a basic pancake syrup recipe, I made the following changes. 1)didn't add the apples or cinnamon, 2)based on others' recommendations decreaed brown sugar to 1/3 cup, and, 3)added 1/4 tsp vanilla. Also, I cooked it up in the microwave, stirring often. It made the perfect pancake syrup! I think that the original recipe (but increasing the corn-starch) would be a great filling for Taco-Bell-type Caramel-Apple Empanadas.
This was really delicious! I ended up having to thin it out with a little more water, but the flavor was great!
This is a great tasting recipe and easy to make. It is like having warm apple pie on top of your french toast or pancakes. We made the recipe as is and it was simply delicious!
Holy cow! I went apple picking with my boyfriend, and he adores waffles. This was the PERFECT topping! I didn't have cornstarch available, so I substituted flour and it worked wonderfully. Thank you!
We love homemade syrup and this variation with the apples is excellent! A fun addition to breakfast. We tried sauteing the apple slices in the butter first and then adding the other ingredients to the apples. It was delicious!
Perfect. Exactly what I was aiming for. I ate them on their own as a delicious and fairly healthy dessert, when I found myself with several leftover Granny Smith applies that did not fit in the pie they were intended to belong to :).
I used 1TBSP of butter; flour instead of cornstarch and diced the golden delicious apples: tastes delicious! I plan on mixing it into my plain yogurt and oatmeal.
WOW! This was delicious over pumpkin pancakes but would be good on anything or even by itself!! Yummy!! I used 1 pear in place of one of the apples the next time I made it and it was also very tasty. :)
made cinamon cream sheese stuffed french toast with this syrup yum used the leftovers for pancakes nice change from maple syrup
The only thing I did differently was double the recipe. Don't change a thing; this one's perfect!!
This was off the hook good. My hubby said it was better then Cracker Barrel and my picky 7 year old actually licked his plate clean. I have never seen him do that before.
This was so simple and tasty! It was like a birthday party in my mouth! I loved it! Thanks!
This is awesome! I put it on top of the oat waffle recipe I found on this website!
Very delicious! If you like cooked apples you will love this. It is much better than anything you can get out of a bottle.
...made this morning according to recipe as I was out of maple syrup and didn't have corn syrup as many other recipes require. This is definately a keeper! Apples give just the right balance so that it's not too sweet. Will make again. Thanks!
Yum! I made this with blueberry pancakes and it was so good. I doubled the recipe and added vanilla and nutmeg and it was perfect.
This was great. I used it on french toast.I needed to cook it for another 4 minutes. It was a little watery but still tasted absolutely fabulous.These would go great on some kind of pastry.I would actually use this than the bottled syrup, because of the apples.They are so nice and tender. Almost melt in your mouth. This recipe is great.
Delicious! Was easy, and a hit with the whole family (even a non-fruit eater). I followed the recipe exactly except used 5 large Yellow Delicious apples, and the same amount of all other ingredients. (The dog and I ate the apple peels, since that's where most of the nutrition & fiber is found.) Was still very sweet, and turned out exactly like the restaurant's apple dish. Yum!
Gave it 4 stars because I don't know what the exact recipe will be like - I kind of just used this as a starting point and threw stuff together. I only had one apple (granny smith), so I estimated amounts based on that. I didn't have corn starch, so I used a tiny bit of flour. I added some allspice (just a tiny tad) with the cinnamon. I gotta say - it was delish! Used it on peanut butter pancakes - my 2-yr-old finicky eater ate almost 3!
This recipe is easy and delicious. I used Granny Smith apples and made the recipe exactly as called for.
Absolutely Delicious! Only change I would make, is to double the recipe! Served on Herman Pancakes from this site.
excellent..i did change the sugar to splenda blend and diced the apples. it went over really big at our house. thank you
I love this recipe, what a great topping for pancakes. I had to stop cooking it at about 8 minutes so I would have enough sauce, it continues to thicken. I may double it next time, I'm certain I can use any leftovers!
Pretty good. I put them on top a slice of banana bread and ice cream. This would be great for an apple pie as well!
Easy and very tasty; everyone I have made them for loves them! Thank you, I couldn't have asked for better!
The flavor was yummy. Adults and kids alike went back for seconds. I chose this recipe because I din't have maple flavor . I didn't add apples . This may be why syrup was soo thick . I added extra water to thin out . Cinn was a little strong too me w/o apples .
Well I can say yummie . I decided to try it out on som picky eatters of the ages 6,5&4. I had all but 1 ingredent .THe corn starch I had to impervise with baking powder. Not bad.
Served this with Oatmeal and Applesauce Pancakes from this site- the syrup made the meal incredible. I was busy and probably overcooked the apples but it was still delicious. Will definitely make again.
