So, while it may seem crazy to need to spell this out, after so many people making a mistake, I thought I'd clear this up once and for all. Not just with my recipe, but I've heard from many other recipe developers that they've had readers make similar mistakes. However, the comments kept coming! It turns out this is a widespread mistake people make. I considered putting a note in the comment section of the recipe, which would surely clear this whole thing up. It became very clear to me that people were confusing the unfiltered apple cider juice with apple cider vinegar. Why would a recipe taste like vinegar when the recipe does not call for any vinegar? And then, another comment soon followed, describing a similar mistake.
I learned this fact after a reader commented with a one-star review about how my recipe was awful because it tasted like vinegar. And, this past year, since publishing my Apple Pie Filling recipe, I've learned that some people don't know there is an actual and factual difference between fresh apple cider and apple cider vinegar. Sometimes in life, you don't know what you don't know until you learn it. Have you ever had a recipe fail you when there was apple cider vinegar involved? Keep reading you might be surprised by the mistake you could be making.
