We have snow and I'm going to make applepie moonshine


I found this a while ago and making it  soon :)
It is snowing outside and we are just watching some golf.  Deanna and her son are coming tomorrow to spend the night. I have the room all ready and  we are going to watch the Superbowl.


Apple Pie Moonshine is probably the most popular and sought after type of bootleg whiskey ever made, and for good reason - it's delicious. We've already posted procedures for making a basic mash and even instructions on making peach moonshine. Here is our favorite (high octane) apple pie moonshine recipe:

Ingredients:

1 quart of 120 proof, pure corn whiskey moonshine (everclear could be used as a substitute - but that ain't moonshine!)
1-2 cans of frozen apple concentrate*
2-4 cinnamon sticks*
1-2 cups brown sugar*

*Depending on how sweet you want it to be, you may add up to twice as much of these particular items (in other words, 2 cans of concentrate and 2 cups of sugar instead of 1).

Directions (assuming that your shine is stored in quart jars):

First, add the apple concentrate, cinnamon sticks and brown sugar to a pot.  Bring to a boil and then simmer for 60 minutes.  Stir a few times as it is heating up to dissolve the sugar.  Note, you could simmer for only 20 minutes, but you'd want to leave the jar sit for a couple of weeks before drinking to allow it to season.  Heating it longer in the pot (60 minutes) will cause the cinnamon sticks to release their flavor very quickly, allowing you to be able to drink it immediately.  I like to call this the "instant satisfaction" method.    

After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool.  Make sure it is completely cool, and none of the burners on the stove are on before moving on to the next step.

After the mixture has cooled, add 2 pint jars (or one quart jar) to the mixture and stir it up a bit.  Remember, 100+ proof moonshine is flammable.  You do not want to do this anywhere near a heat source.
