Apple Pie and Apple Pie A La Mode

Rebecca Lindamood

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 gallon apple cider NOT the pre-spiced variety
  • 1/2 gallon unsweetened apple juice
  • 2 cups brown sugar I use sucanat, raw sugar, or sucanat
  • 6 cinnamon sticks plus 8-16 more for the jars
  • 1/4 of a whole nutmeg don't grate this, just use the chunk of nutmeg!
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 whole bottle Everclear Pure Grain Alcohol 750ml, *See Notes
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 4-8 vanilla beans cut in half, Optional, but tasty
  • 6-8 quart jars OR 12-16 pint jars or a combination thereof sterilized, with new 2-piece lids

Instructions
 

  • Bring the apple cider, apple juice, sugar, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg piece, and whole cloves to a boil. Shut the heat off, cover the pot, and let it cool down completely. When it is absolutely cool, stir in the Everclear and vodka.
  • Pour the Apple Pie Moonshine into the clean jars and add 1 cinnamon stick and 1/2 of a vanilla bean to each jar whether it's quart or pint sized . If you'd prefer to have it plain vs. a la mode, omit the vanilla bean.
  • This is best if allowed to mellow for at least a week, and sublime if allowed to mellow for two weeks before serving. Serve at any temperature, but we like it best well chilled or warmed like a toddy.
