3 cups apples, coarsely chopped
3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups 80 proof brandy
one 4" cinnamon stick, broken
Directions:
In a large screw top jar, combine all ingredients. Cover Tightly. Invert jar. Let stand for 24 hours. Turn jar upright, let stand 24 hours. Repeat turning process until sugar dissolves.
Store in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks. Strain through a cheesecloth into decanter.
(Update: 2/27/2008) This jar has been sitting under the sink for quite some time now, although the lid is now really stuck. I haven't been able to decant it into a clean jar. *sigh*
