- Yield: 1 cup glaze
Ingredients
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the apple juice, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and ground cinnamon.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and butter have completely dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the apple mixture.
Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly before drizzling over your apple cake.
