Apple Brandy Cordial image

It's apple time! This is wonderful apple brandy. It's quick and easy. The longer it sits, the better. I just strain it through cheesecloth before serving, if it settles again. I have also used coffee filters for a fine strain, it just takes longer. I have some that is 8 years old and it is a beautiful amber color and very smooth.

Time 20m

Yield 1/2 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups apples, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
four inch cinnamon stick, broken in half
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups 80-proof brandy

Steps:

  • I remove the seeds because I think they make it bitter if left in the apple.
  • I don't use top shelf brandy, I use a less expensive brandy but not the cheapest either, something in between.
  • I use a glass gallon screw-top jar.
  • Combine all ingredients and place cover on tightly-invert jar, I always place it in a large pan, just in case it might leak.
  • (although, this has never happened) Let jar stand 24 hours, turn jar upright and let stand another 24 hours.
  • Repeat process until sugar dissolves.
  • Store in a dark, cool place 4-6 weeks.
  • Strain through cheesecloth into decanter.
  • Note: I always use very dark red sweet apples and I think that it is the dark red skin that gives the brandy a nice color.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it might be too sweet for my taste.

I'm not usually a fan of cordials, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and it has a nice, complex flavor.
