  • apple cider vinegar1 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • cup of water1 cup of water
  • cup of sugar1 cup of sugar
  • cinnamon stick1 cinnamon stick
  • cloves4 cloves
  • star anise1 star anise

Instructions

  1. First, in a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, and 1 star anise. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Next, add 4 cups of apple slices to the boiling mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let the apples simmer for about 5 minutes until they become slightly tender.
  3. After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This will help the flavors to meld together.
  4. Once cooled, transfer the apples along with the pickling solution into a clean, airtight jar. Make sure the apples are fully submerged in the solution to ensure proper pickling.
  5. Finally, seal the jar tightly and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours before eating. This allows the apples to fully absorb the flavors of the pickling solution.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the pickled apples sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they will become. Also, make sure to use a clean, sterilized jar to prevent any bacteria or mold growth.
