This syrup is especially good  over Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup.  Try it on crepes, ice cream or any apple dessert.

• 1/4 cup sugar (I like to use less)
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 2/3 cup apple cider or apple juice
• 1 cinnamon stick (2 inches long)
• dash of ground nutmeg

In a small saucepan, combine the first 3 ingredients; add the cinnamon stick.  Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for a couple of minutes or until thickened.  Discard cinnamon stick; add the dash of nutmeg and serve warm.
