Baked Apple with Cinnamon Liquor

Yesterday when I was baking this luxury apple cake I came to invent an alcohol-free apple and cinnamon liquor which is delicious. And it is so easy to make, it actually makes itself and while baking apple cake you can get both, the cake and liquor done in same process.
What actually happens when you cut apples in slices and coat them in cinnamon and sugar is that the longer you let these apples stand in the mixture the more liquid will make up. The sugar dissolves with the natural water of apples and the cinnamon and form into a syrup-like liquid. This liquid has top notes of rich and strong flavor of cinnamon and mid notes of sweetness from the sugar. The under notes of apple flavor completes this delicious tasting liquor. You may use it cold or warm to any dessert, cake or drink you like which goes well with cinnamon flavor.

Makes about 1 dl 

I n g r e d i e n t s

5 large apples, peeled and cut in thin slices
1,5 tbsp ground cinnamon 
12 tbsp sugar

1. Peel and cut the apples into thin slices
2. In a large bowl mix apples with ground cinnamon and sugar
3. Let stand for at least half an hour
4. Strain and keep it in a bottle or jar

Note! The longer you let the apples stand in the mixture, the more richer and stronger flavors will be developed. Even if you strain the liquor and then let it stand for some days, the flavors will develop stronger and get richer.

 
I poured my apple & cinnamon liquor on microwave baked apple with raisins and almonds which I had with strawberry ice cream. Delicious!
