Apple Pie - Beverage

[J_Edwards]

My cousin always likes to bring a taste of this out on the ice with him, the stuff is delicious but dangerous, so smooth for as much alcohol is in it.  Anyways I thought I'd share a recipe for it.

1 gallon of Amish Apple Cider (good and cloudy)
1 gallon of fresh apple juice
3 Cups of sugar
3-5 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon of Nutmeg
1-2 qts of white liquor

Combine all the ingredients besides alcohol in a large pot. Bring to a boil, simmer for 3 minutes. Remove form heat and let cool completely (this takes several hours) speed the cooling up if you have room in the fridge.


Once cool, stir well and add your white liquor. Makes about 10 quarts.

You can use moonshine, vodka or everclear in the mix.  I've heard of people jarring it with a fresh cinnamon stick as well.

Do not add the alcohol before it's sufficiently cooled or it will evaporate, alcohol evaporates slightly above 172 degrees fahrenheit and and 78 degrees celcius.

Apple pie sure is great.. But I have never understood why its half apple cider and half juice. Is it actually for taste or just to save money?

[ice 45]

That stuff is great we made it with everclear and yes it can catch up to you fast!

Thank you very much. You just gave me a great idea for stocking stuffers for Christmas.

Apple pie!! Smooth as silk! But much like my old man, liable to sneak up behind you and hit you on the back of the head!

Obviously 2 quarts of Everclear will give it a hell of a lot more kick than 2 quarts of vodka.  Is 2 quarts of E too much kick for only 2 gallons of juice/cider? 

[J_Edwards]

I've had it with moonshine and the 95% everclear and it was strong, too strong to drink much of, but the flavor is still great and still goes down smooth, dangerously smooth.  I don't see anything wrong with just using one bottle.



EDIT:

This is the recipe he gave me, I haven't tried it yet, he says this is how he makes his, which tastes great but kicks my tail end.  I did a little research on other recipes, most people are using 1/5th or one liter of everclear in similar recipes.  I'll have to ask him if his 2 quarts was a typo or just how strong he makes his..

Have had it a few times with the Everclear. Trust me this stuff us dangerous, it has the ability to make you time travel.

I think it's for the flavor difference. Apple juice and apple cider have a very different tast for coming from the same fruit and the flavor ends up just perfect using half and half. I do, however, always try to get the pure apple juice.... with little or no other fruit juices added like grape and such. Man.... good stuff!!

[icerod]

Has anyone tried this with rum?  Is it 3-5 Cinnamon sticks, or is it teaspoons of ground Cinnamon?  I would really like to try rum, but vodka would be ok too.

[SINX53]

this stuff is like liquid candy but this stuff can knock you down. I usually make a batch of this every year for the holidays and give it out to family and friends. The recipe I have calls for vanilla instead of nutmeg. Never used everclear though. Just found another brand of vodka that was cheaper but still potent.

variation for the ladies put some cool whip in a can on top tastes just like apple pie and vanilla ice cream.

[corny13]

Another variation of the icecream/apple pie, is to use a shot glass and pour half with applepie, then carefully and slowly pour the top half with chilled bailey's irish cream so  they are seperated.   Becareful though...  Kind of like a "Bottom bouncer" which is the bottom 1/2 butterscotch schnapps  and baileys on top...named after the famouse fishing weight developed in Bismarck,ND

[icejunky]

I will flag this one for a tast test this year, thanx

[fishin mt]

this stuff is great.  my friend had a jug of it ice fishing 2 years ago.  only take a few sips at a time or you'll regret it.  his was made with everclear.  i'll have to make a jug of it this winter.

[cantwait]

3-5 what of cinnamon? teaspoons or sticks? Had some of this once and was I'm gonna make some for this season! Thanks

[J_Edwards]

Whoops! Cinnamon sticks!

[4x4elk]

This sounds good we are going to try it for new years. Not to say there won't be a test drive between now and then

[DoubleBurg]

We used to make this in college.  A buddy of mine lived near a apple orchard.  Not a good ..... Actually.... It is a good thing!

[SPADED]

i make the same stuff, but i dont use nutmag.. and i like to boil the cin sticks with the batch then add them to the bottles before filling.. and be sure to let it cool before adding the everclear, or it will evaporate on ya! dont get on the sleds after drinking this stuff tho boys lol

[4x4elk]

Sleds He!! if u drink enough of it sounds like you'll have a rough enough time riding your feet!

[wyoutdoors]

All of the homemade schnapps and stuff I've ever made calls for you to add the 190, ever clear or white lightning after you've combined and cooked your recipe. If you were to combine all the ingredients as listed and boil it, the alcohol begins to evaporate. Am I missing something here?

[4x4elk]

Once cool, stir well and add your white liquor. Makes about 10 quarts.

I had to read it all a couple of times to find what I was missing but ya I would say you missed something this was the last entry in the original thread..

Like my wife says read ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START!

[SPADED]

yeah guys remember alcohol evaporates before water does so if you boil it with the alcohol in it all that steam coming off is your booze!!!! and the point of boiling it is to melt all the sugar and condense the liquid, i dont feel like looking for my recipe but i know you have to reduce the juices by half or a third. down to like a gal of juice and sugar mix, and then i add only 1 liter of ever clear or 1 mason jar of shine once it has been cooled if you condense it down enough you can put it in the freezer without it freezing

[cantwait]

Made some over the weekend and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe

[J_Edwards]

 
You're welcome.


You guys are correct alcohol evaporates at 172 degrees fahrenheit and 78 degrees celcius, it says to add all of the ingredients at one point, but at the end it says to add the alcohol after it cools.  I edited the original post to include this information.

[openingact]

Great recipe.... same as the one I use typically with the exception that we typically do   1 1/2 c white sugar and 1 1/2 c brown sugar, though the nutmeg is a new thing I'll have to try

[jasond37]

I've had this stuff with Everclear in it.......eesh.  Tastes so delicious, you'd never know there is that much booze in it.  My brother in law made a huge batch for his house warming party, and greeted everybody with a warm mug. 

[Jim_R]

Tried Apple Pie (with Everclear) for the first time at a NASCAR Race in MI a few years back...got my arse kicked by it

This batch had vanilla in it.  It also had cinnamon sticks and sliced apples in the bottom.

[PyroZuki]

I like to run mine through a percolator ( over flame style on low ) so it's nice and warm, then pour it into my thermos. Warm Apple Pies mixed with coffee keeps you warm on the ice  8)
