About The Recipe

This recipe is an absolute must for us during the Fall and Winter seasons. It’s something that, once you have it, you’ll never be able to go baking without it!

We actually had never used it until a few years ago. It was a case of buying something because it sounded interesting. We used it in our Apple Cinnamon Scones to give it that little bit of extra apple flavor, but what we didn’t realize is how much flavor something so simple could give!

The only problem was that the boiled cider we bought was very, very expensive. It was definitely a specialty thing, like…only use on special occasions.

But, my mom happened to catch a glance at the ingredient list on the back of the bottle one day and…the rest is history. From that moment forward, we have made our own!

And we couldn’t just keep this recipe to ourselves. It’s SO amazing that we just had to share it with all of you!
