Apple Pie Moonshine Gummies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup apple juice
– 1 cup apple cider
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup light corn syrup
– 1/4 cup apple pie moonshine
– 1 packet (3 oz) flavored gelatin (such as apple or unflavored)
– 2 packets (1 oz each) unflavored gelatin
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Cooking spray
– Optional: diced apples for added texture
Directions:
1. Begin by preparing your workspace. Gather all ingredients and necessary equipment such as a medium saucepan, a whisk, measuring cups, and a spatula. Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In the medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, apple cider, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, but do not let it cool completely.
4. After the mixture has cooled slightly, add the apple pie moonshine, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5. Gradually sprinkle the flavored gelatin over the warm apple mixture while whisking continuously. This ensures that the gelatin dissolves evenly without clumping.
6. Next, add the unflavored gelatin packets, again whisking continuously until all gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. If desired, fold in diced apples for added texture and flavor.
7. Once everything is well combined, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the surface is smooth.
8. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and allow the gummies to set for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
9. After the setting time, remove the dish from the refrigerator. To cut the gummies, use a sharp knife to slice them into squares or desired shapes.
10. Carefully remove the gummies from the baking dish, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your homemade apple pie moonshine gummies responsibly.
