Trim the ends off the cumbers and cut cucumbers lengthwise and then lengthwise again to get quarters.
Prep the garlic.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add apple cider vinegar, water, and salt (and maple syrup if you choose to use this) and stir until the salt is fully dissolved. Remove from the stovetop and let cool.
In a 24 oz glass jar, add cucumbers, dill, and garlic and once cooled, pour apple cider mixture over the pickles. Shake the jar and place in the refrigerator for 2-5 days.
