1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3. In a large bowl, mix the cinnamon apple concentrate, apple juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Slowly pour the cooled sugar syrup into the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth texture.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples if using.
6. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, filling them to the top.
7. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully solid.
8. To release, run warm water over the molds for a few seconds before serving.
Tips for Perfect Texture and Flavor
Use finely diced apples to avoid icy pockets.
Do not rush the freezing process; slow freezing improves consistency.
Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust cinnamon gently to avoid overpowering the apple.
Flavor Variations and Additions
Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Replace apple juice with pear juice for a softer profile.
Include a pinch of nutmeg or clove for deeper warmth.
Storage and Preservation
Store the frozen pops in their molds or wrap individually and keep in an airtight container. They maintain best quality for up to two weeks in the freezer.
