I’m a girl who LOVES Fall. I love the cooler weather, the approaching holiday spirit, and APPLE SEASON! Apple pie is one of my favorite things on Earth, and TIS THE SEASON! Forget Pumpkin Spice, for me, apple is the flavor of Fall and worth all the hype!

They’re all great and worth making again and again, but today I want to go straight to the source. HOMEMADE APPLE PIE VODKA! The perfect additive to any cocktail in the Fall, am I right?!

Apple Pie Everclear Vodka
Homemade Apple Pie Vodka is as simple as letting some apples and cinnamon sticks soak in Everclear, add in some water and simple syrup, and enjoy! It has a naturally bright and spiced flavor that will leave you smiling and thinking of Fall. I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be partnering with Everclear® to come up with fun infusions this year. I had no idea just how crazy easy it is to make Everclear transform into fun flavored vodkas, liqueurs, or schnapps.
Everclear has created a GORGEOUS website, Make It Your Own by Everclear®, where they have compiled tons of amazing recipes for infusions; everything from Chocolate Liqueur to Chai Vodka. You might remember that I’ve already made Peach Tea Vodka and Strawberry Shortcake Vodka this year. SO easy and SO FUN. Everclear is a 190 proof grain alcohol with no taste, making it the perfect clean slate for flavors.
It’s fast to pull flavor from the ingredients you’re adding and you don’t even need much! It should be diluted 1:1 with filtered water because of its strength (important step!). One bottle goes a long way, making this SO cost effective. The possibilities are endless, not to mention fun! This Homemade Apple Vodka is pretty much fool-proof, and I have a feeling you’re going to love it!
How to Make Homemade Apple Pie Vodka
Making your own vodka might sound tough, but we’ve got it easy with this recipe. We’re just adding the delicious apple pie flavors into vodka by letting it sit to soak up all of the apple and cinnamon flavor.
- Fill mason jar with sliced apples and cinnamon sticks.
- Pour in the vodka and fill to the brim.
- Seal the jar and give it a light shake, then store it in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours.
- After it has set, pour the vodka through a strainer to get rid of the apples & cinnamon.
- Return the vodka to the jar, add in the simple syrup, then fill the rest with water. Stir to combine.
This homemade vodka is ready to drink now. Pour it over ice or mix it into a fun cocktail. The apple vodka will keep for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator!
This Homemade Apple Pie Vodka is refreshing, flavorful, and fun. It’s perfect for fall, whether you sip it on its own, or mix it into a drink.

Can you use the soaked apples for sangria if you’re making the vodka to use in sangria?
We don’t see why not!
Can I use regular Vodka instead of Everclear?
Yes!
I’m a bit surprised that this is only good for 2-3 weeks, with as much alcohol that’s in it, one would expect a MUCH longer shelf life.
Even though we strain out the apples, there can still be remnants of the fruit in the vodka that can cause it to spoil more quickly. Plus, the simple syrup and water do dilute the alcohol a bit. That being said, we do always like to give conservative estimates simply because we’re introducing a possibility for contamination by moving the alcohol from its original sterile bottle.
Store in refrigerator & it’ll keep for months. Several yrs in now on this. Will modify recipe this year to add apple cider & juice offsetting water for more apple flavor :)
I found this to be very tasty although it wasn’t as “appeley” as I would have liked – therefore I added a few drops of apple natural food flavouring !
Definitely modify to your liking!!
When making this recipe is it normal for the apples to turn brown while sitting in the alcohol?
Yes it is, totally fine!
hmm apple pie! look delicious to me
will try it now
Hope you love it! Cheers!
Hi – this looks amazing! I wonder if I could use the cooking apples that fell from my tree, as opposed to eating apples? They aren’t as sweet so maybe up the simple syrup content? What do you think?
Thanks
