Notes
- Troubleshooting:
- Tips:
- Bourbon Options:
- The liquid in the pan is thin and I want it to be a syrup: For a thicker syrup, increase the sugar to ½ cup.
- My apples fell apart: Some varieties of apples (like McIntosh and Golden Delicious) tend to fall apart and turn to applesauce when cooking. Use another variety or only cook until just tender.
- The amount of liquid will depend on how juicy your apples are.
- Make sure to adjust the sugar to taste. Some apples are much sweeter than others.
- The bourbon can be swapped for any unflavored whiskey.
- Omit the bourbon to make this recipe kid-friendly.
