Apple Pie "Moonshine" Recipe
Apple Pie "Moonshine" Ingredients
To make a killer batch of "apple pie moonshine" you're going to need more than just cinnamon. We think it's best when it also includes allspice, cloves, orange peel, ginger, vanilla bean, and even a bit of black and pink peppercorn to give it some spice. Simply put, adding some cinnamon and apple juice to a batch of white whiskey will make a good batch of apple pie shine, but it won't make a great batch.
When we tested this recipe we used store bought white whiskey.
Apple Pie "Moonshine" Spice Mix
Here at Clawhammer, we take pride in knowing our way around whiskey. Apple pie shine is one of our favorites and we've made many a batch. In fact, when we were in the process of developing our Apple Pie Moonshine Spice Mix, we tried dozens of variations on this American classic. We drank ourselves silly testing the stuff out, then enlisted the help of friends and family. They happily guzzled down jar after jar to aid in our pursuit of excellence. After months of testing, we finally made "the perfect batch."
How to Make "The Perfect Batch"
To make a batch of "apple pie moonshine" with our spice mix, simply combine the tin of spices with 4 cans of apple juice concentrate and 6 cups of 80 proof white whiskey (any kind will do but Ole Smoke White Lightnin works best). Leave it sit for 24-48 hours then strain. Store in quart jars and refrigerate until you're ready to drink it. That's it!

wELL, I JUST STILLED MY FIRST BATCH OF MOONSHINE. I GOTTA MAKE APPLE PIE MOONSHINE OUT OF IT. MY BATCH CAME OUT WAY STRONGER THAN 80 PROOF. PROBABLY DOUBLE THAT STRENGTH. HOW DO I CUT IT SO I CAN USE THIS RECIPE? DO I DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF APPLE JUICE OR???
I have looked and looked for the recipe that you all had on your site for the Apple Pie moonshine that must sit for 24-48 hours. It was broken down very nicely. Would you please post it again or send it to me via email? It was the one that was not watered down with all the apple juice or cider. It used 3-4 cans of concentrate without the additional water.
Thank you so much,
Rick
I used to do the apple juice concentrate, sugar etc until I found your apple pie spices. Maybe you changed your recipe or I left out a step last year but I added the spices to everclear, let it steep for two days, strained and bottled it. Nothing added but the spices. It was the best ever. Trying the fireball this year too.
That is the recipe without the spices just the basic apple pie moonshine recipe.
12 oz.cans of frozen apple juice concentrate times 3 is 36 oz’s.One quart of Everclear is 32 oz’s.Yield on the recipe is a little over 2 quart’s.36 +32=68 divided by 32=2.125 which is a little over 2 quart’s.
when I do a apple pie drink I use a cup of 120 proof 3 cups of mixture what is the freezing temperature of this? anyone know. or fruit mixed drinks in general
Can I please get answers to apple pie recipe questions. Thanks

hi, I wonder if we could redo the apple pie moonshines since I have took recipe from someone else website and they no longer on the website so I am surfing to find answer if I can redo our moonshine, I know it is not to be on stove cause of everclear is already in it. this is pretty close to your recipe but I add 3 cups brown sugar and 9 cinnamon sticks, 1tsp nutmug, 2 tsp apple pie spice. Husband said this take too sweeter and didn’t like this too well. rest of the stuffs is same as I add the liquor. any idea how can I fix this if I can redo the whole jars in one and I am willing to make extra if I have to. Please help anyone..
I make an apple pie shine that I keep on getting request for more. 2
1 gl apple juice,1 gl spice apple cider,1. cup of White sugar,1 cup of brown sugar
1.75 liter of ever clear,.75 liter vanilla vodka. 6-8 stick Cin Sticks and vanilla stick. Pour Apple juice and cider in a large stock pot and start heating it up, keep it covered as it warms add the both cups of sugar, stir until the all sugar is completely dissolved. Add cin Sticks and vanilla then cover. Allow it to come to a low roll boil, allow to low roll boil for a few minutes 2-5, shut off heat and let it cool a few minutes then add ever clear and vodka, theN cover to simmer and cool down. I boil my jars and lids then add the apple pie while the jars and lids are warm to get a good seal and preserve taste. Allow to cool at room temp and give it a couple weeks for more flavor.
Ok so here is what I do for my recipe. Which I got from another post on this site about how to make Apple Pie. 32 oz of Hooch, 3 Cans of Concentrate (do not add any water), 1 cup of Brown Sugar, 6-8 Cinnamon Sticks, one vanilla bean split down the middle. Add everything except to shine to your crockpot and steep overnight. Remove and cool and then mix in the Shine. I strain mine through a coffee filter that I line a funnel with and pour right into jars. Hope this helps!!!
Guys, do the math…
4 12 oz cans of apple juice concentrate is 48 oz.
6 cups of shine is 48 oz.
that’s 96 oz or 3 quarts – which is exactly what the recipe says it will make.
Since this is my first post on here, let me say that I am so very glad to have found this site. The still took some effort to put together but it works like a charm! I sent an e-mail with questions on the day after I ordered and emmet got back to me the very next day. Great product, great service…great company to do business with!
Has anyone answered the question about diluting the concentrate like the apple juice can reads or not? Plus what do you use to strain the finished product? Thank-you in Advance John
So I see everyone is asking the same question on the apple juice concentrate, so what size apple juice cans and is it mixed with water as per instructions of the can. I have made my own version of apple Pie Moon Shine using everclear 150 proof (750 ml) and 1 bottle of Vanilla Vodka and 1 gal of apple juice and it makes 11 pint jars but I would like to try and use your spices with this recipe. What is your opinion, does it seem that the alcohol volume is not as much as you use.
My question is for Mike that his turned out 160proof and had to cut it in half. What recipe did you use and fermenting process and what type of still did you use can we communicate on the phone or do we have to communicate through this billboard NickyCole 9033865066
wELL, I JUST STILLED MY FIRST BATCH OF MOONSHINE. I GOTTA MAKE APPLE PIE MOONSHINE OUT OF IT. MY BATCH CAME OUT WAY STRONGER THAN 80 PROOF. PROBABLY DOUBLE THAT STRENGTH. HOW DO I CUT IT SO I CAN USE THIS RECIPE? DO I DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF APPLE JUICE OR???
HELP OUT A NEWBY HERE GENTS. THIS STUFF IS SO POTENT IT CANT BE CONSUMED WITHOUT CUTTING IT IN HALF WITH SOMETHING. WHAT SHOULD I USE??
THANKS IN ADVANCE. AS SOON AS I KNOW IM OREDERING UP THE SPICE MIX!
Made my first batch of apple pie using your spice kit and ever clear and followed the instructions. Wow! did I say wow? The spices really adds a bunch to the drink and brings it over the top. I could go on and on as to how good it blends, smooths, and creates the subtle taste I like but I won’t. I Just want all to know this kit is awesome.
