Spice up the apple juice & cider: Get out a large stockpot and pour the apple juice and apple cider into it. Then add in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and all of the spices. Place this over medium-high heat and let the mixture come to a soft boil. Then use a spoon to stir the mixture until all of the brown sugar has dissolved into the liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 1 hour.

After the 1 hour remove the pot from the heat and let the liquid cool down to room temperature.

Remove the spices: Once the liquid has cooled to room temperature you can use either a sieve or a slotted spoon to remove the big cinnamon sticks. Don’t worry about getting it all out as we will strain the liquid before we add them to the jars.

Pour in the alcohol and stir everything together.

Jar the apple pie moonshine: Get out your clean mason jars and place a funnel over one of them along with a sieve over the funnel. Then use a ladle to spoon the moonshine into the jars until it almost comes to the top. Repeat this step until all of your jars are filled. At this point, you have the option of placing an additional cinnamon stick into each jar. This will not only make the drink spicier but will make them look nice. So make a decision and then place the lids on each jar.

Place the jars of apple pie moonshine into a fridge to cool off before enjoying.
