Apple pie in a Mason jar? Yes please. Oh...it has booze, too? Sign me up! With just some apple cider, apple juice, spices and booze, you can whip up a batch of this fall-flavored drink. Seriously, this amazing “moonshine” is autumn in a jar. (Don’t worry; it’s not real moonshine, so you aren’t doing anything illegal.) If not using right away, store in the refrigerator.
