Mom's apple pie ( in a jar)


Source: Boston BarHopper
To make homemade apple pie moonshine, you will need:
1 750-milliliter bottle of 190-proof Everclear (or high-proof vodka, if that’s all you can get)
About 1 cup of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum (two cups tastes pretty good also… just saying)
1 gallon of apple cider
1 quart of apple juice
3 cups of brown sugar
1 cup of white sugar
10 cinnamon sticks
1 large stock pot
6 mason jars (quart-sized)
source: Etsy/BryBryBabyBows
Directions:
Step 1: Combine the cinnamon sticks, apple cider, and apple juice in the large stock pot. Bring it all to a mild simmer and add in the sugars.
Step 2: Continue to stir slowly for about 5 to 10 minutes until all of the sugar is dissolved. At that point, turn the heat off and allow the apple cider mixture to cool down to room temperature.
Step 3: Allow it several hours to reach a lower temperature. If you add in the alcohol too soon, the higher temperature will evaporate some of the alcohol content.
Step 4: Once the mixture is at room temperature, stir in the Everclear and one to two cups of rum.
Step 5: At that point, you are ready to jar the apple pie moonshine in the mason jars. Don’t be afraid to put a cinnamon stick in the jars either.
As the apple pie moonshine ages, the cinnamon and sugar blends out the alcohol taste to an almost undetectable level. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

(For the Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, tastes pretty good with Pineapple Juice.)

 It sounds awesome but that's a lot of booze. Flybox might have the right idea.

sounds lethal David.  My only encounter with everclear was a Purple Jesus.  Drink enough and you think you see Him

I don't want to sound pedantic but why do legal alcohols put moonshine on the label?
It makes zero sense to a kid that has had real moonshine and there is no comparison.

we used to drink purple haze - port and champagne in equal measures -  a truly devastating mix

It probably is lethal MoMo. I don't intend to make any. I enjoy some good homemade Limoncello...enjoyed a glass of that while in Tucson from lemons grown there and it was very refreshing and nice.

Last alcohol I had was some hard lemonade to kick a virus I picked up and it seemed to work as I was having a lot of congestion and a sore throat and a few ounces of the hard lemonade helped I think and I could breath after clearing my head and then killing the germs in my throat and tonsils with the H.Lemonade.

I deal with depression so usually I don't drink.

 My neighbor made me a hot alcohol drink once when I had a lasting case of bronchitis. It had cinnamon and cider and rum and who knows what else. It didn't cure me but I didn't mind being sick so much. I wish he had been willing to share the recipe, took it to his grave.
