As fall is coming here in the north woods I wanted to make an alcoholic beverage that really captures the season. So I sat down and started thinking about everything I wanted this to be and I decided on a cider. Now, I have never done a cider before soo.
Please let me know what you think of this experimental recipe .
Now I am thinking of something that is the personification of a perfect fall day. (more then a little subjective I know.) So that means a amalgamation of brown sugar, cinnamon, apple flavor and assorted spices; not to mention a sour bite at the end. With all that in mind and no further ado.
Fall in a bottle
1. 5 gallons orchard fresh cider
2. 1 pkt. Nottingham's ale yeast
3. enough dark brown sugar to raise the abv. to 6%
let ferment untill 6% abv then kill the yeast in your preferred method.
Ingredients:
4. 2 teaspoon butter
5. 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
6. 6 teaspoons vanilla sugar
7. 6 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8. 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
9. 12 large Honeycrisps - peeled, cored, and sliced (keep the peels for extra flavor)
10. 1 tablespoons water
you can double this for taste
steps
Now preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with the butter.
Mix brown sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Layer about 1/3 of the apples in prepared baking dish; sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mixture. Repeat layers twice more.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Pour water over apples and continue baking until tender, about 15 minutes more.
Once tender put in a large mixing bowl and mash until you have small chunks. Lay these chunks back in the baking dish add a drizzle of maple syrup maybe a little molasses and the smallest sprinkle of allspice.
funnel or spoon this back into your cider and let sit 1 week - 1 month purely to taste.
Now I have never made this before and want to know if you think this will turn out how I am envisioning it .
Give me some constructive criticism below

Now rack your cider into another fermenting vessel and now we're going to add some more baked apples but these ones are going to be delicious what you're going to need.Ingredients:

7. 6 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8. 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
