Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. pickling spice
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 Pink Lady Apples
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise pods
Instructions
- Combine water, vinegar, maple syrup, pickling spice, and kosher salt in a small to medium sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Wash apples, core them if desired (no need to peel them). Transfer the slices to a quart sized bowl.
- Add star anise pods and cinnamon sticks to the bowl with the apple slices.
- Pour the brine through a strainer into the bowl with the apple slices, then cover and let come to room temperature.
- Once they have cooled to room temperature, transfer the apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and star anise pods to a pint-sized glass jar.
- Fill the jar with brine, and discard any left-over brine. Cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- The apples will float - to keep them submerged, set a smaller bowl inside on top of the apple slices and wrap the two bowls tightly with a layer of plastic wrap. This should keep the apples submerged.
- They are good for 2-3 weeks in the fridge
