I've been working on a mellow brandy wash for a while, consisting of a mix of pineapples, strawberries, raspberries, and half an apple. Started out as neutral sugar wash but I just tossed in some batches of raspberry wine and other fruits.
Distilled it and got one of the cleanest cuts of hearts I've ever had, diluted, and then I soaked half a Gala Apple (sliced), added a 1/4tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp of brown sugar and let it sit for a day. Then strained it all out.
That weekend I passed it around to a few friends around the campfire...when I got it back it had all disappeared
Best brandy I've ever made, in my opinion .

Re: Apple Pie Brandy
I noticed at the end the taste started to diminish and it tasted like trace heads and hearts, I guess it was the apples, but I tried it again (the recipe) and it tasted great all the way through, I let the apples and such soak for a bit longer this time, maybe 3 days?

When I was in Hawaii at the store looking at all those Pineapples and fresh mangos my mind was racing about possible recipies
