Directions and Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple juice, apple cider, apple pie moonshine, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves and all ingredients are well blended.
- In a separate small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to bloom, which means the gelatin will absorb the water and swell to perfection.
- Once the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until it becomes liquid. Be careful not to overheat; it should be warm enough to dissolve but definitely not boiling.
- Pour the warm gelatin mixture into the apple juice mixture, stirring continuously until fully incorporated. Make sure there are no pesky lumps of gelatin left behind.
- Prepare your gummy candy molds by lightly dusting them with cornstarch. This simple step will keep the gummy ravioli from sticking to the molds.
- Carefully pour the apple pie moonshine mixture into the prepared molds, filling each cavity to the brim. A dropper or small measuring cup works wonders for this part.
- Once all the molds are filled, gently tap the mold on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles, ensuring that the mixture settles evenly.
- Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours, or until the gummies are firm to the touch.
- After the gummies have set, remove them from the refrigerator. Carefully pop the gummy ravioli out of the molds, savoring the anticipation of the deliciousness to come!
- In a small bowl, mix together additional granulated sugar and cinnamon to taste. Roll each gummy ravioli in this sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them nicely.
- Serve the Apple Pie Moonshine Gummy Ravioli immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy your delightful no-bake creation!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to adjust the cinnamon and sugar to your taste for the coating. You can also experiment with different flavored moonshines if you want to mix it up! These gummy treats are best enjoyed fresh, but they can stay good for a week in the fridge.
Cooking Techniques
This recipe is all about simplicity and technique. Blooming gelatin is crucial for achieving the perfect texture — it ensures your gummies will have that delightful chewiness.

Can I use a different type of alcohol?
