Apple Pie Moonshine

Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon Apple Cider
  • 1/2 gallon Apple Juice
  • 3/4 C granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C light brown sugar
  • 750 ml bottle of EverClear or Grain Alcohol
  • 1 1/2 C Rum
  • 4-8 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 2-3 Quart Sized Mason Jars with lids

Directions

  1. Combine everything except the alcohol in a large stock pot, then heat the mixture until it reaches a boil. Stir as it warms so the sugars melt fully into the cider and juice.
  2. Take the pot off the heat and allow the mixture to come down to room temperature. When it has cooled, mix in the alcohol.
  3. Transfer the moonshine into clean mason jars, then tuck 1-2 cinnamon sticks into each jar. For quart size mason jars, add 2 cinnamon sticks.
  4. Close the jars tightly and store them in the fridge or in a cool, dark room. For the best flavor, let the jars sit for about 2 weeks before drinking.
