I made bottles of this apple liqueur last year and really liked it. I am going to do it again for Christmas gifts. I also did the cake recipe and it was really nice.

The apple liqueur sounded divine but I couldn't get it to screen up.
Luckily I found this Apple Brandy Recipe developed by an accomplished
Wisconsin farm woman who grows apples.
