Apple Cinnamon Liqueur - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 granny smith apple, diced
2 cinnamon sticks
3 cups vodka
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon glycerin (optional)

Preparation

In a quart jar, add apple, cinnamon sticks, 1 cup sugar, and vodka.
Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the apples, getting as much juice from them as possible.
In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, the glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.
