It's no secret that during the fall season, pumpkin spice is king. We put it in our coffees, add it to our baked goods and get excited for it year after year. But if you've been scaling back on your morning $5 lattes, this do-it-yourself pumpkin spice syrup will show you that homemade coffee can be just as tasty.

Apple Recipes Perfect for Fall

The combined flavor of pumpkin puree, mixed with vanilla extract and pumpkin spice will remind you of autumn days strolling through your favorite pumpkin patches and apple orchards.

To make the syrup, start by mixing all of your ingredients together in a pan and sert over medium heat and cook it for about one hour, stirring occasionally. Everyone's stove tops are different, so if you find that your syrup is too thick, try adding some water and cranking the heat up a bit.

Once it's done, let it cool down for another hour and then strain it. Add the syrup to your cofee, waffles or any of our tasty recipes made with canned pumpkin.
