Anyone here try making Apple Pie Moonshine?
If so, what'd you think of it? Just ends up sort of a Liqueur?

Add peaches. Gives it a bit of a sweet flavor
I've done cherry pie shine, never heard of apple pie shine. Cherry pie shine turns out like an XXXtra hard cider, it'll sneak up on ya and kick ya!
never made it but I have drank it.
it's still moonshine but tastes like apple, not like apple juice for sure, but it has the taste of apples.
I had some a friend picked up in Mo. It was very good, apple and cinnamon with a big BITE! Gp
Soon we will be getting those big black sweet cherries from Peru and Chile, they come in December. Take half a quart jar of these, top it off with 'shine, set it in a dark cupboard a couple of months, it will be so blood red you can't see through it, it will be near black! Set it in the fridge and you are good to go! Goes down smooth and easy, tastes like little kids cough medicine, warms you from the inside out.

A friend that comes up to duck hunt brings some when he comes. The apple taste takes away some of the harshness from the shine and YES, it will sneak up on you!
I make it and enjoy it. Put apple cider and apple juice in a sauce pan and heat, add cinnamon and let cool. Than add the shine and some vanilla flavored vodka. You are looking for a final proof of about 80.

Most anyone looking for apple pie wants a low proof sipping drink, a jar of 180 triple run will probably send them to the ER.
Try using 1 1/2 quarts apple juice and 1 1/2 quarts apple cider ,heat to a boil add 1 cup brown sugar and dissolve. Stir in 1 tsp pie spice, seems like suped up nutmeg. Remove from heat, way away from heat, and pour in 1 quart of 180 proof or everclear jar up in quarts with 1 cinnamon stick per jar refrigerate and enjoy. The longer it sits the stronger the cinnamon favor gets.

No offense, but anything that gets it's alcohol content out of a store bought bottle cannot be "shine" by any definition of the word. I'm wondering what planet I've landed on at this point.
I prefer peach or lemon flavored. But I've had the apple pie and it tastes good. I prefer the lower proof versions. "White Lightning" does not really agree w/ me. But it's not like brown liquor which turns me into someone I don't like being.

I resent it when other people try to inflict their ideas of betterness on me. I don’t think they know. And I can’t see any authority on the horizon that’s got any answers that seem worthwhile. FZ
I have had it several times at WBTS reenactments and it has invariably been very good. All of the versions I have had were said to be a combination of first run shine, dried apples, cinnamon and brown sugar.
I have also had some made by a local guy who adds dried peaches, pears, persimmons, cherries, strawberries or blackberries. Always extremely good. My grandmother also made her "cough medicine" with some of this fellows shine. She would get a pint jar from him and add soft peppermint sticks until the shine turned bright pink. Then it would sit in the back of the cabinet until you coughed, at which time you would get a healthy dose poured down your throat!

Store bought is belter than being poisoned IMHO. Drink shine that is from unknown maker is like playing Russian Roulette.
I buy my liquor from a legal small distillery. After adding the flavors cut to 75-80 proof. From the 170 proof they sell.
I think this is prudent if you don't know the distiller. However, anyone that understood HS Chemistry (or maybe not, eh?) can successfully distill. Heads and tails cut are temp dependent and completely different chemicals with completely different properties. There is no witchcraft or mystery here.
Personal use is legal in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK have decided to not enforce personal use distilling, and I think Sweden and Norway as well. We're the only ex-Brit country to keep it illegal. Says something either about our liberty hating gov't or about our HS graduation rate...
In Oregon you can grow dope. But in the US you can't distill 5 gallons of wine to a couple fifths of hooch. Weird, eh?

Mind you, this ain't 'shine-but if you want to drink a slice of apple pie, this is pretty good!!--
Take a gallon of apple cider, pour about 1/2 of it into another container and save for final step.
Into the now 1/2 full cider jug, pour in a fifth of Yukon Jack liqueur, and a pint of high end Vodka. Everclear works, but the high end Vodka smooth's out the finished product, takes the bite out. If you really want the bite, use Everclear.
Drop in 3-4 cinnamon sticks, and a dozen or so whole cloves.
Top the jug back up with the reserved cider, cap and allow to sit in a warm place, for a week or 10 days. As above, the longer, the better.
Be sure you have no place to go, and preferably be sitting down, when you swill your first glassful. Really good for dessert on Turkey Day! And no hassle baking! Oh, no ice!
