My first drink of Apple pie

[Ironmower]

Had a summer-home neighbor stop by and handed me a bottle. Of course, I asked what is it? He said, apple pie. He then explained, that it was moon-shine, lucky-leaf apple juice and 2 cloves.
Yee-haw!, that stuff is good! 8) And you don't even have to dirty any dishes. ;)
Any of you fine people ever tried it?

[Jeff]

That's not real apple pie, but everybody has thier own versions I guess. I was given Nailheads secret recipe (which will remain secret) before he died, and I can tell ya, that there is more to it then you were told, and apple pie needs to be made with fresh apple cider, non-pasturized, and certainly not processed juice. Plus its something that takes several to many days to make.   If you liked what he gave you, you'd curl up and giggle like a school girl if you got a taste of the real thing.

Its almost the season here. We'll be brewing a few batches as soon as its cider time.

Not much fresh cider here, processed juice is about the only way to go. Jeff is right, the real stuff is more complicated than that. Better too.

[Banjo picker]

Well I guess I'll throw water on the fire.  I tried it, and I didn't like it.  Don't know how it was made or what it was made from.   But all is not lost....my wife liked it. ;)  Tim

Prolly a lot of secret recipes for apple pie.  8)
I can vouch for Nailhead's as being one of the better ones I've had.

Google "recipes for apple pie drink" and a wide variety of them come up. Some even have vodka added  ;) ;)

  We have a jug made in 2000 that is about as good as it could possibly be. the recipe given me was pretty complex to make, because distilling was involved. ;) pretty high octane, but mighty smooth and tasty. Is this similar to what you have ???

[Ironmower]

Sorry, I'm not hard too please!

The only time in my LIFE I've ever been drunk was on Apple Cider...

Mind you I was 8. We were at a BBQ and Mum kept filling my glass with "apple cider" not realising it was alcoholic!!!

I don't think I've had it since. Not really something you see much here...

asy :D

[Slabs]

When I was in my teens, somebody gave my dad a jar of shine and he tried to "mollify" the taste with dried apples.  Taste wasn't so great but that stuff would knock your hat into the creek.

[Raider Bill]

Well by now I figure Jeff's not going to give up his secert recipe, does anyone else have a good one?
I got's 12 quarts of shine and another case coming. Sure would like to make up a batch with the upcoming holidays, like halloween you know..... 8)

[Jeff]

I made a promise to Pat Johnson that I would not give out the Recipe, and I'm hoping it will be quite some time before I can ask him about changing the status on that.  I will tell you that all you need is a 5th of booze to two gallons of cider used.

I polished off a bottle just last night. I'm going home in the morning for a few days and I'm hopin the brew Mistress gives up anudder bottle or two to bring back up. ;D

[pasbuild]

Pat was pretty secretive   about that recipe as he was about many things, but truth be told its Karen's recipe and I have never known her not to share ;)

[beenthere]

Pat shared the Apple Pie.  Didn't need the recipe.  8)

[Raider Bill]

I'd hate to have to wait to see him about it. But then again a nice long wait wouldn't be too bad I guess.

[timberfaller390]

I'm not a fan of apple pie but I do make a pretty choice applejack.

[Weekend_Sawyer]

I had my first taste of Apple Pie last weekend. I don't know how it was made but it was Goooood!  8)

[Rockn H]

Not sure if we're all talking about the same thing... north to south translations ya know.  I like apple cider with cinnamon and Pear wine or "perry" is my new favorite summertime drink to sip on around a BBQ.   One favorite for us when we're around a campfire in cold weather is Apple Pie made from moonshine and apple concentrate.  There's a little bit of a recipe to it, but basically you cook all the ingredients then add it to the moonshine.  When done right it's fairly sweet and smooth and still about a 100 proof. ;)

[sandhills]

We make it occasionally but never used the same recipe twice, always tweaking it a bit, never had any turn out bad though just some batches a little better than others.  I've tried some with vodka but mainly stick to everclear for the alcohol, and use cider not juice.

[goose63]

3 gallons apple juice
1big jug ever clear
half pint brandy
1 pound red hots candy
heat half gallon juice mix red hots so the sugar don't stick to pan
let cool pore in the brandy and ever clear
I call it air plane gas any fool drinks enough will try to fly go's down smooth

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

DanG Goose......that stuff would run a weed eater.  :D :D :D

[Rockn H]

I think Y'all are watering down your apple pie. :D   We use 1/2 gallon 150 proof grain alcohol.  Take 3 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate, 1 heaping tbl spoon cinnamon, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2tsp vanilla.  Bring this to a boil then let simmer for 30 mins, then let it cool.  Once cooled add this to your grain alcohol... It's better if it's gets to rest a few days but not necessary.  That's our recipe for Apple Pie Moonshine.

[sawguy21]

OOOF!!! That stuff would kick like a rented mule. ;D Sounds pretty good, a few shots of that the bed better not be too far away.

[Raider Bill]

Take 1/2 gallon of freezer water in a wide mouth canning jar and an apple. Swig on the jar then take a bite of the apple if you need to. Some do some don't. ;)

[LeeB]

!/2 gallon? you be hard core Bill.  :D
