Adirondack Apple Pie

[muskybob]

I normally like to give credit for a recipe, but I can't remember where I got this one.

With everyone gone ice fishing, I thought I'd post this little skin bracer for a little warmer upper. Don't overdo it on the ice though & don't drink and drive.

Adirondack Apple Pie

The old Mountain Men, trapping beaver in the high country, loved the same things they used to have at home, but often couldn't have them because of logistical problems. One of those problems was overcome when it was discovered how to keep apple pie in a bottle. Best of all, it won't spoil...

Here's my recipe for apple pie, mountain man style:

Adirondack Apple Pie
· 1 can frozen apple juice, 1/2 gallon size
· Apple pie seasoning, to taste.
· 1 bottle of Everclear (fifth) or Vodka
· 1 empty liquor bottle (fifth)

Mix the apple juice in a 2 quart saucepan, using approximately 1/2 the normal amount of water. Ideally, make it so it is a little more than 1/5 gallon. Add your favorite apple pie seasoning until it tastes right. Heat the apple juice to boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until the remaining volume of seasoned apple juice will just fit into the empty liquor bottle (OK to guess.) Let it cool until you can hold your hand on the side of the pan. Now add the fifth of Everclear. Stir thoroughly, then immediately pour the mixture into the two empty fifths you now have. Seal the bottles. Wait a minimum of three weeks before opening.

;D Hey MB, where do you get the empty liguor bottle from . Do you use a screw on top or a cork? Also where do you store it, in the frig. or in the basement? I think I might need sunglasses the day after eating this pie .

Hey Birdbanger, any GOOD friend will help you empty a bottle. For medicinal purposes of course. ;D I use the screw on type and keep them in the refrig till ........um, needed The sunglasses are a good idea. I usually have to use bottlecaps with a rubber band around my head to keep my eyeballs in afterward.
