The best recipe to make apple wine calls for twenty four windfall apples or a mixed variety of apples, three to six pounds of granulated sugar, one gallon of water, one tsp of pectic enzyme, and yeast. Chop all of the apples into small pieces or chunks. Then, take the apples and put them into a fermenting vessel. Add the enzyme to the apples as well as the water so that the water covers the mixture in th container.
