Instructions
For the Apple Syrup
Combine the diced apple, apple cider, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan set over medium heat.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sugar is dissolved. Remove the syrup from the heat and set it aside to steep for 15 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, making sure to press out the apples to extract all of the flavor!
Place the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to make the macchiato.
