Rinse the apples, remove the core and cut into pieces.
Put this together with 200-250 g rock candy, 5-10 cloves, the cinnamon stick and the vanilla pod in a large glass and fill up with grain.
The liqueur can be filtered off after 2 weeks, but should mature for 6 - 9 months so that it can fully develop its taste. The smell of the liqueur then resembles a sweet apple juice.
