CARAMEL APPLE VODKA RECIPE
Perfect for Halloween - Great for Caramel Apple Lovers!
I have to tell you I was blown away by how much this tasted like a caramel apple! They're one of my favorite treats and when I started this infusion I had no idea how much I was going to love this flavored vodka! After only a few hours I was tasting caramel apple - after a few days it was so good I actually danced around the kitchen with the bottle! I'm kind of addicted now.

Coffee Filters or Cheesecloth
Medium Metal Strainer
Directions
Add your sliced apples to a clean jar or infusion bottle. (I used Granny Smiths because of their tartness and firm texture.)
Pour in the caramel sauce, test the mixture with your finger for sweetness level.
Pour in the vodka.
Allow
to infuse for a minimum of 24 hours up to a week. (I was getting
caramel apple flavor in just a few hours!) Infusion time depends on the
strength of the apple flavor you want.
Strain through a coffee filter lined metal strainer into your decorative bottle.

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium low, gently whisking constantly, for about six minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
