Apple Pie - Rated R

This is the most requested Apple Pie recipe at our house around the holidays.  And it's not what you think!  Travis makes this and it's SOOO good.  Nicole and I don't really like alcohol and we love this.

Apple Pie

1 gallon apple juice
1 gallon apple cider
2 c brown sugar
2 c white sugar
6-8 cinnamon sticks
1.5 tbsp ground nutmeg
1/5 (1 L) 190 proof alcohol (like Everclear)
Half of 1/5 (1 L) vanilla vodka
  1. In large stock pot, bring juice, cider, sugars, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer until cinnamon sticks burst (unpeel), about 1-2 hours.
  3. Cool completely.
  4. Add alcohols and stir well.
  5. Store at room temperature in mason jars with lids, or you can use the containers or bottles the juice, cider and alcohol came in, or whatever else that can seal tight.  It makes 8-10 quarts.  
  6. You can refrigerate it for an iced beverage.  
  7. You can heat it up for a hot toddy!
