In a small saucepan, add sugar, water, ginger, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, and let syrup stand for 1 hour. Discard ginger and cinnamon. Transfer syrup to an airtight container, and chill.
Add apple cider and bourbon to a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 1 tablespoon syrup. Shake well, and strain in 2 cold glasses. Garnish with a thin slice of apple, if desired.
