Slow Cooker Apple Pie Moonshine
In my husbands family this recipe forCrock-Pot Apple Pie Moonshine is a traditional Christmas Eve beverage. My husbands grandfather has made this mixed drink, or flavored beverage, for years and all the men in the family sit and gather in the basem*nt laughing, telling jokes and sipping on this drink.
It is also given as gifts to all the adults in the family so that we all can sip and savor it all year long.
Once the jars are open you can keep this drink in the refrigerator to drink cold (I think it tastes better cold) and will last all year long (or longer).
Please remember that this is a strong alcoholic adult beverage and it goes without saying that you should keep it away from children and of course, drink responsibly.
Our family uses Everclear which is 195 proof (95% alcohol) which means it is STRONG. Everclear is not always available everywhere, so if you cannot find it at your local liquor store then feel free to use another strong proof alcohol such as vodka.
This recipe makes about 105 shot sized servings. And are these Mason Jar Shot Glasses are PERFECT for serving in!
Equipment Needed For Slow Cooker Apple Pie Moonshine:
Because you are not distilling moonshine in your slow cooker this recipe is not true moonshine. Instead you are flavoring a strong distilled spirit to make a highly alcoholic flavored co*cktail.
If I cannot buy Everclear where I live what I can I use instead?
In some states in the US and some countries Everclear is not available. If you do not have access to moonshine or Everclear then we suggest using a high proof vodka.
How long can I store this apple pie moonshine?
When stores in a dark cool place this apple pie moonshine will store for many years. The high alcohol content makes it hard to spoil. You will drink it before it goes bad.

Storing opened flavored moonshine in the refrigerator prolongs its shelf life. The refrigerator temperatures slow down when the sugars and added flavors go bad. Unopened flavored moonshine can last for years, un-refrigerated and away from sunlight.
Apple cider often has sediment in it, so do not be alarmed if it looks cloudy. Let sit undisturbed for at least 5 days, although I consider a week the minimum. The product must remain cool during aging and storage thereafter.
Ingredients: 12 lbs apples (tart apples work best) 3 cans 100% apple juice concentrate (frozen) 6 lbs white sugar 6 gallons spring water 2 packets dry yeast (4 ½ teaspoons using bulk yeast) Directions: 1.
If the container is sealed and kept in a secure location (assuming that the manufacturer properly distilled the moonshine), it won't hurt you to take a sip to evaluate the flavor. Although technically safe to drink, moonshine that “goes bad” will have an unpleasant taste.
Different flavors will have different life spans. Generally they will last two years unopened and about six months after opening. They will generally last longer if you store them in the fridge after opening as well.
Best way is to filter the alcohol using carbon. This will remove some of the flavours and taste and make the alcohol taste cleaner We have several filters which are available. There are the Spiritworks Carbon Filter, the In Line and the EZ filter.
There's two possibilities, one is that you had some junk left in the still (what is your still made from?) or you ran the boiler too hard and the product bubbled up and "puked" where the mash bubbles and goes up the still. Running thick or sugary washes often boil over.
The nitrogen (from the nutrients) reacts in an alkaline environment to form ammonia. The more residual nitrogen and the more alkaline the mash, the more ammonia results. This ammonia then corrodes the copper and results in a "blue-ish distillate which tastes not good at all.
If the mash contains less than about 10 %ABV alcohol, you have to distill twice (double distillation). If the alcohol content is higher than that, a simple distillation is completely sufficient. This kind of distillation produces the most intense taste and smell, more than double distilled alcohol.
Fermentation will usually take three to six weeks, depending on temperature and yeast, and once it has ceased, immediately siphon the cider off the sediment into a clean fermenter. Repeat this process after a few weeks or when another sediment has formed. The cider should clear naturally.
Pour your apple pie moonshine in jars. Store in the back of your refrigerator if not sealing. Can be enjoyed immediately, or preferably after a few weeks in the fridge.
If you want to get more of the earthy taste of moonshine in your co*cktail, try pairing it with ginger ale (not ginger beer). Sweet ginger ale can make moonshine go down smoother and is a good starting point for those new to drinking moonshine.
Glycerine is used to smooth and mellow spirits and add some modest body. If you think your distillate is a little sharp or has a bit too much of that 'alcohol burn,' adding a few drops of glycerine can reduce the harshness, add mellowness and improve mouthfeel.
A basic apple pie made with sugar will last up to two days at room temperature in an airtight container. Afterward, it needs to go in the refrigerator and will last for up to two days. Apple pie made with a sugar substitute or without sugar will last up to two days in the fridge.
Ole Smoky Distillery on X: "@Kev_Campbell Hey Kevin, refrigeration is recommended but not required, so your Moonshine Cherries should be fine! Enjoy :)" / X.
Store leftover baked pie loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Please Note: Baking pie on baking sheet helps crust to bake more evenly.
If you're not straining: Store your cherry moonshine in the fridge. It will last 2-3 weeks. If you are straining: Once your cherry moonshine is as strong as you want it to be, strain it into a forever container and store in the fridge or freezer. This sucker will last for years!
