7 Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars

This tasty apple glaze relies on thick, dark boiled cider for its superior flavor. It's silky smooth, flecked with cinnamon, and luxuriously creamy. Pour it generously over doughnuts, cupcakes, bars, cake, or even drizzle it atop an apple pie. It adds a tangy-sweet punch of apple flavor.
