Apple mash
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This simple apple mash recipe is especially relevant for happy owners of private plots and summer houses—if your apple harvest has been abundant, and your cellar is already overflowing with jams and fruit drinks, yet the apples keep falling from the trees, then this recipe is just what you need! Making apple mash is very easy—I think the step-by-step instructions will convince you of that. You can even use windfall apples for this mash. The taste is excellent, but it's tricky—seems like you've only had half a glass, yet you're already unsteady on your feet :) Actually, the only drawback of this mash is that it usually runs out faster than we manage to turn it into moonshine. Let's see how things go for you! :)
