Instructions

1. Wash the apples thoroughly. Core them and cut into pieces, keeping the peel on.
2. In a large container with a wide neck, layer the apple pieces with the cinnamon stick and vanilla sugar.
3. Pour the sugar evenly over the top of the layers.
4. Pour the schnapps over the sugar.
5. Do not stir or shake the container. Let the sugar dissolve slowly on its own.
6. Place the container in a dark, cool location.
7. Let the liqueur steep for at least 6 months. Longer steeping improves the flavor.
8. Every 4 weeks, gently shake the bottle once.
9. After 6 months, taste the liqueur to check if the apple flavor is sufficient.
10. Once satisfied with the flavor, strain out the apples and cinnamon stick. Pour the liqueur into a clean bottle for storage.
