Christi's Apple Extract 🍎 A member of our private Facebook group, Making Vanilla Extract by VanillaPura, shared this one in her own words and pictures, and it would be a lovely addition to baked goods, hot apple c***r, and more.
It starts with just two ingredients: freeze-dried apples and vodka. You begin with 2 cups of the apples and 3 cups of vodka in a glass jar with a lid, then swap in fresh dried apples at weeks 1, 2, and 3. The apples soak up a lot of liquid, so you'll end up with about 1 cup of extract. Strain it, run it through a coffee filter, and you're done in about 5 weeks. Find the recipe in the comments 🙂
