APPLE PIE CORDIAL

Steps:

• 1. Place apples and cinnamon in a large glass container that has a tight fitting lid.
• 2. Add vodka to apples and cinnamon.
• 3. Make the simple syrup. I combine the water and sugar in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup and microwave it until the sugar is disolved.
• 4. Let the simple syrup cool and then add to vodka.
• 5. Shake well.
• 6. Let mixture sit for approximately 4 days. Shake the mixture twice daily.
• 7. Remove the apples and cinnamon sticks.
• 8. The cordial needs to be strained to remove all the residue. Coffee maker filters work well. Strain through coffee filters until the cordial is nice and clear.
• 9. NOTE: Be sure to dampen coffee filters first. Place them in a strainer and pour liquid through the filter a little at a time. This is a time consuming process. You may have to strain it 3-4 times. I've actually opened up the filters and lined a small collender with them and then poured the liquid through.
• 10. You can store the cordial in an empty vodka bottle or put it in little bottles to give as gifts. Keep in frig.
