How to Make Apple Pie

  1. Combine 2 lbs peeled and sliced apples, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves in a large bowl.
  2. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a non-porous, dark-colored ceramic jug. Seal tightly with a cork or airtight lid.
  4. Place the jug in a cool, dark place for 30 days (approximately 43200 minutes).
  5. After 30 days, gently shake the mixture.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh cheesecloth or coffee filter into a clean container, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  7. (Optional) Stir in 1/2 cup Everclear for a stronger alcohol content.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
