2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 dash of cinnamon bitters
1 thin apple slice

Caramelized Apple Syrup

Ingredients:

1 large green apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Method:

In a medium saucepan, melt the brown sugar over medium heat until it starts to bubble and form a caramel. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Add the chopped apple to the pan and let it cook, stirring for a couple of minutes until it softens and absorbs some of the caramel.
Add water and cinnamon, stirring until the mixture reaches a syrup-like consistency. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the apple pieces and solids, and let it cool to room temperature.
