Wash and core the apples, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the chopped apples into a large pot or kettle and add the sugar and water.

Step 3

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the apples have broken down and the mixture has thickened.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Once the mixture has cooled, add the yeast and yeast nutrients and stir well.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel and cover it with a lid or cloth.

Step 8

Let the mixture ferment for 7-10 days, or until the bubbles stop appearing on the surface.

Step 9

Using a siphon, transfer the fermented mash to a still and distill according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 10

Once the distillation process is complete, transfer the moonshine to mason jars or other glass bottles for storage.
