This is my take on an apple pie liqueur. Its nice cold, warm, as a shot or a sipper.

Apple Pie Liqueur
700mL apple juice
1/2 red apple - seeded / sliced
1/2 green apple - seeded / sliced
2 cinnamon sticks (or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp brown sugar
500ml 40% neutral

Method
I use a large moccona jar - combine 500ml juice, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar, place in microwave on high for 4minutes (this is to dissolve sugar and help ingredients combine).

Add remaining 200ml juice, this should cool it enough so you can add the 500ml of spirit. Thats it.

I dont strain the ingredients, i leave it in the jar.

If you can leave it for a couple weeks before drinking it rounds off nicely.

I like it on ice, wife drinks it with a splash of cream.

Please give this a try and let me know what you think.

Gotta try this. One of the first thing I made in this new hobby was apple pie bourbon. I got the recipe of you tube. It was very drinkable. This looks good. Thanks for the recipe.

I have just put another batch of this down.

I'm going to give this ago, got shit loads of neutral while I am learning how to run the still.

A touch over two years old, not bad at all

meant to say a touch under two years old

How's it taste now vs fresher harold? Lost much of the flavour or evened out in an interesting way? How long did you leave all the goodies in for? About to do a run that oughta total around 30-40 litres of wheat vodka to play around with lots of macerations, gins etc. and this sounds interesting to try making a few different ways (including dropping some oak in).

Has mellowed out after time, very bitey when fresh, pulled out the floaties after about three months
Next time I will reduce the apple juice content from 700 to 500ml
