Howdy folks. Back at trying to nail this recipe . Got the base down but really having a problem getting any apple flavor. Driving me a bit nuts. Have spent a good amount of time researching.

Here is my base:

Last attempt I used FA Fuji at 1.5% and Apple SC RF at 2% but didn’t really get any apple flavor. I want the apple flavor to be out front.

Here are what apple flavors I currently have…I don’t want buy anymore at this time. apples

Also considering adding amber for that baked taste or maybe something like white peach to add some accent. Any help would be appreciated.

the recipes is marked as private but Fuji loves to fade and I don’t know how Double Apple would work but I do like that flavor to push juiciness in Watermelon so might work here?

I found this by Kopel https://www.ejuicemakers.com/lab-kopel-1-flavor-layering-aka-building-better-apple-pie/ and he states lemon can boost apple and gives a pretty good recipe on how he did it if you’re interested.

Try to combine your double apple with two aoples and if you have Pear either FA or INW at .5pct may push the apple note

ha don’t do that to me. I’ve got 267 flavors with well over half I’ve never used. The bug bit me badly. Actually going to go through my stash and try to sell some of it.

@scifoc You’ve got some good answers, but it’ll be up to your tastes in the end. With almost 7.5% fighting against your apple pie filling I can see why it’s getting lost. I’m thinking the double apple as well, and fuji on the top. I think you need more apple too, and then some sparkle on the top, being pear, lemon, etc.

Ya i get that , my only concern is how light of a fruit Apples seem to be , I do like Sessions idea of Fuji with double apple with the apple filling … It’s going to be tough to have the apples sitting on top of that cream…ill be interested in seeing where you take this

Agreed @fidalgo_vapes. I was afraid with mentions of pear and lemon to boost the apple, but I think there’s going to need to be more APPLE in the apple if you know what I mean. I’ve never tried Apple Pie Filling with Double Apple, but they may play nice. Fuji, pear, lemon can take it from there. The seemingly obvious thing is to keep the creams % ratios the same but drop them overall.

The Apple Pie Filling is a, well, filling lol, with apple’s, spice, and everything nice, while the Double Apple is kind of a green and red apple, so it will be interesting how they pair. I wonder if FA Liquid Amber would help out here, or not, even with it’s “cider”-ish-ness quality.

LOL, only reason I did, was I’ve tried this before, and I love da creams, and had a hard time with the same issue. I think I had to lower the overall creams, same ratios, but lower overall to get the fruits to SHARE the stage with the creams.
