Substitute maple syrup with regular syrup for baking? [closed] - Pile of tasty homemade golden pancakes decorated with fresh blueberries and honey on plate with icing sugar

I'm trying to create a 'sticky apple pecan cake', the recipe calls for Maple Syrup. Sadly that's really hard to get here.

I do have a full bottle of 'regular' syrup in my cabinet, could I use that instead? It's thicker than maple syrup but the sweetness is about the same to me.

This is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS
1½ cups of cooking oil
2 cups sugar
4 Eggs
3 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 tsps vanilla
3½ cups Granny Smith apples (approximately 3-4 apples), peeled and chopped
1 cup of chopped pecans

Caramel Glaze
¾ cups butter (1½ sticks)
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

You can definitely use regular (if you mean regular is in Betty Crocker and the like) as a replacement for Maple Syrup in this recipe. The flavor won't be quite as nice because you'll be missing the maple flavor, but it will definitely have the sweetness you want.

    Because, it's true: Pancake syrup is not the same as maple syrup. Or, rather, maple syrup is a syrup for pancakes (and waffles), but labeling a product as \u201cpancake syrup\u201d means it is not made of the same stuff as its maple counterpart.

    Is regular syrup the same as maple syrup?

    The biggest difference between pure maple syrup and pancake syrup is the list of ingredients. Pure maple syrup is simply maple tree sap that's been boiled down to a thicker consistency. That's it. Just one ingredient.
