Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar, or mix in a teaspoon of molasses for depth. If you don't have maple flavoring, you can substitute with honey or agave syrup for a different but delightful taste. For a vegan version, use agave nectar and ensure the flavorings are plant-based. This syrup pairs wonderfully with American recipes like Mini Apple Pizzas.
