Moonshine adds a kick to the delicious apple pie ingredients—cinnamon, apples, and other spices—in a delightfully simple recipe. Here you may find a detailed guide on making apple pie moonshine.
Ingredients
*Apple cider, measuring one gallon (3.78 liters)
3 and a half liters (one gallon) of apple juice
four cinnamon sticks
190-proof grain alcohol, one liter (Everclear or similar)
2 quarts of maple sugar
1 cup of pure cane sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
One tablespoon of cinnamon powder
3/4 tablespoon of nutmeg that has been ground.
3/8 teaspoon of allspice powder
Equipment:
A big stockpot
Mixing implement
Various measuring implements
In a funnel
Containers made of glass for storing liquids
Straining using cheesecloth (optional)
Instructions:
Clean and sanitize your work area before you begin. Be sure to wash your hands well before you start.
Step 1: Combine the apple cider and apple juice in a big stockpot.
Spice Up Your Recipe: Toss in some cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and spices into the saucepan. Combine by gently stirring.
To cook the mixture, put the saucepan over medium heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally. Make sure to stir every so often to avoid scorching.
To Make It Sweeter, Add Brown Sugar and White Sugar When the Mixture Begins to Simmer. The sugars will have dissolved entirely if you stir them constantly.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, for approximately 30 minutes to infuse flavors. Doing so will aid in incorporating the spice flavors into the liquid.
Let the Concoction Cool to Room Temperature: Once the mixture has simmered, take it off the fire and allow it to cool completely. It normally takes around that much time.
Carefully add the liter of grain alcohol to the liquid after it has cooled. Make sure it’s dispersed evenly throughout the mixture by stirring it well.
Toss in the tablespoon of vanilla extract and whisk to incorporate for the finishing touch. The moonshine’s flavor will be heightened by the vanilla.
Before you bottle the apple pie moonshine, give it a taste to see if the flavors require any adjustments. To taste, you can adjust the amount of sugar and spices.
Transfer the apple pie moonshine into sterile glass containers or bottles by using a funnel. Place lids on the containers and seal them tightly.
Although the moonshine is ready to drink right away, the flavors will really shine when given a few weeks to age in a dark, cold spot.
Apple pie moonshine is best served chilled, but it also goes well with ginger ale, soda, or even combined into a cocktail. Drink wisely and not too much.
Precautions for Safety:
Extreme caution is required while dealing with grain alcohol. Stay away from children and pets, and don’t touch it with anything that could catch fire.
If you operate in an area where there is inadequate ventilation, you run the risk of inhaling alcohol vapors.
Put the date of preparation and alcohol quantity on the labels of the apple pie moonshine bottles.
Homemade moonshine is extremely potent, so please drink it in moderation.
If you follow these instructions, you can make apple pie moonshine that everyone will rave about. To make it your own, try adjusting the amount of sugar and spices to suit your taste. Let us toast the deliciousness of homemade goods!
