Answer 1

You need the apple juice to become spoiled. Just add some sugar and bread crumbs or some wine to it and let it sit where its warm till its making lil bubbles.
The process is finished if no more bubbles come up.
Then fill the stuff into a bottle, heat that thing up, and lead the fumes through a pipe so they can cool off and turn into drops.

These drops are the alcohol of the cidre.

The cidre itself would have like 4% of alcohol, the destilled stuff will be high percentage like 50% plus!
But you only get the alcohol out of the cidre - so if you have like 2 litres of cidre then destilling gets you only 4% of 2 liters in booze which is like one glass high percentage booze out of 2 liters of cidre.
Now if you drink all of it - you will turn blind, so dont use the first alcohol right after heating up and dont use the last stuff either - thats the poisenous alcohol.

The destillation process should run at a steady temperature to give you good quality alcohol.
And dont use any plastic or rubber stuff on the pipes - the hot alcohol fumes will be dissolving the plastic.

Oh - and for making the cidre you need to seal it from air unless you have a special yeast.
If you dont seal it from air the apple juice might just start to rott from the "bad" none alcoholic bacteria overgrowing the alcohol producing bacteria.
So you need to seal the apple juice and have a pipe leading from it under water - so pressure and gasses can get out of the bottle and no fresh air can get in.
If you dont use a pipe and just seal the bottle, then the bottle will explode from the pressure building up!

Answer 2

First, why are you so keen to do this when it is flowing around you like the Mississipi River?
Anyway, place the apples (not juice) preferably rotten apples, sugar and water in a container and leave it for several days. Once the rotten smell begins to hit the air and your nose of course, you can start filtering it - drop by drop! The resulting product should be fantastic! Try and let me know!
