Apple Pie Moonshine
Apple pie shine 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.
Details:
Prep time: 5 minutes.
Cook
time: 30 minutes.
Yield:
Just over 2 quarts of 70 proof Apple Pie Moonshine.
Taste:
Absolutely yummy, but knock your socks off strong.
Ingredients:
1 quart of 150 proof, pure corn whiskey moonshine (everclear
could be used as a substitute).
3
cans of frozen apple concentrate.
8
cinnamon sticks.
0-2
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, 1 or 2 cups of brown
sugar instead of none).
Directions:
The "Instant
Satisfaction" Method
First, add the apple concentrate, cinnamon sticks and brown
sugar to a pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer on very low heat, covered, for
20-30 minutes. Stir a few times as it is heating up to dissolve the sugar.
Heating causes 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, split it between 4 pint jars (or 2
quart jars). Top the jars off with 150 proof corn whiskey. Remember, 100+ proof
moonshine is flammable. You do not want to do this anywhere near a heat source.
If you completed all of the steps, congratulations, you just
made your very own apple pie moonshine. You can start enjoying the fruits of
your labor immediately.
The "no-boil"
method
They say that good things come to those who wait, and we think
that this statement applies to apple pie moonshine as well as it does to
anything else. If you want to make a truly supreme batch of apple pie shine,
you'll want to use this method. The "instant satisfaction" method
listed above causes flavor to be rapidly released from cinnamon sticks, making
your batch instantly drinkable. However, "steeping" the ingredients
overnight, without boiling, produces a better product. Why? Well, we aren't
exactly sure, but we think that boiling the cinnamon sticks cause additional
flavors to be released, making the final product ever so slightly bitter. The
"no boil" method provides 100% of the flavor with none of the
bitterness.
Beware, this recipe is high proof. A lot of recipes call for
adding a gallon apple this and a gallon of apple that, but by the time you're
done adding all that liquid, you've dropped your proof down into the baby
formula range. Apple concentrate provides apple flavor without compromising
proof. This stuff sneaks up on you - and then it punches you in the face! But
it's oh, so good.
Gourmet Apple
Pie Moonshine
The above mentioned recipe (cinnamon, sugar, and apple juice
concentrate only) will make a great batch of apple pie moonshine. However, add
spices like ginger, orange peel, cloves, allspice, vanilla bean, peppercorn,
etc... and you'll have something that will make your tastebuds do backflips.
There are plenty of recipes on the web for more complicated versions of apple
pie moonshine. Some of them are great, other are OK, but most are sorely
lacking. We know this firsthand here at Clawhammer Supply, because we've tried
a lot of them out. We did this because we've been working on a top secret
project for a while now - the creation of a perfect blend of apple pie
moonshine spices. After making many, many test batches, and drinking a lot,
lot, lot of apple pie moonshine, we finally landed on a recipe that we're 100%
sure will melt your tastebuds into a puddle of awesomeness. We proudly present
to you our very own Apple
Pie Moonshine Spice Mix. Check out that link to buy

Baking Time Saver
When I bake from
scratch (muffins, pancakes, bread or cake), I make extra. I put all of the dry
ingredients in a zipper baggie and label the bag with a marker. When I want to
bake the item again, I only have to add the wet ingredients, which saves a lot of
time.
