I use a large (2.5L) kilner jar.
Peel, core and slice apples into thin slices that are stacked inside the jar. Add a cinnamon stick if desired, juice of half a lemon and 50g sugar or a couple of spoonfuls of honey. Pour on vodka until the apple slices are covered - I used cinnamon sticks in the jar mouth to stop the apple floating up & out of the vodka. Move every day gently to let the air out from between the slices for the first couple of weeks, then put somewhere cool and forget them for 6 months. Drain the liquor off though a filter (I bought nylon filters from Amazon) and do the extraction I mentioned if desired. set aside for another few months to clarify, rack & sweeten more if desired (easy to add sweetness, hard to reduce it). Enjoy.
