I usually leave it for at least a week, longer is better. If it is not clear, filter it through some cotton wool.

Wineo's Apple pie is worth a shot, I copied this one from HD.

Heres my basic apple pie recipe.
Granny smith,and any red apples
1/4 cup of raisins
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2-3 cinnimin sticks
Any 80-100 proof neutral,or corn hearts
Cut up apples into wedges leaving out the core and seeds
Put raisins,and sugar in jar
Put equal amounts of both kinds of apples in quart jars.{fill them up}
Add cinnimin sticks
Fill jars with booze,close,and shake daily.
After 4 days remove the cinnimin sticks.
It will be ready to drink in a week or so,but leaving it for more than a month will make it much better.Some people add a 1/2 cup of sugar,but I like it not as sweet.
If you make this,make a few jars,because it goes fast.
------------------
When I make it, I use apple juice insted of the fruit, 0.75 litre of juice to one liter of 40% spirits plus the other ingredients - it's good.

What happens if you put small parts of oak wood in the boiler when your making spirits. Wood oak be infused into the finish product?.
