This Apple Pie Moonshine recipe is crazy good! It goes down very easy but really packs a punch. It’s a really easy recipe that doesn’t require a moonshine still or any complicated steps. This is really a flavored moonshine recipe.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make moonshine, you can see how to make moonshine here – the old fashioned way, using a still.
This moonshine recipe is a flavored moonshine recipe. It uses grain alcohol that you purchase so it’s fairly simple to make.
Make sure, though, you make it a few weeks before you plan to drink it. It needs time to sit and mellow out before you can enjoy it.
I usually make several batches at one time. The hardest part is finding the grain alcohol. I use an entire bottle of 190 proof Everclear for each batch.
190 proof grain alcohol can be hard to find. Some states don’t sell it. If you can’t find it, you can easily use a lower proof (151 proof grain alcohol is much easier to find) vodka or moonshine purchased from a liquor store.
This stuff is VERY potent, but oh, so good!
This is truly the best Apple Pie Moonshine recipe you will ever try. Remember to let it sit and mellow, though. If you try this moonshine too soon, it’s like drinking rocket fuel. Or, at least I’m assuming that’s what rocket fuel would taste like. I’ve never really tried it.
