For the Apple Pie Base

1 cup apple juice
1 cup apple cider

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple juice, apple cider, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.
2Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until the sugars dissolve completely, about 3 minutes.
3Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
4Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
5Once cooled, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or large jar to remove the cinnamon sticks.
6Discard the cinnamon sticks.
