Gretman literature as far back as the 13th c knows something called 
"epfeldranc/epheldranc" which translates as 'apple drink'. This is usually 
assumed to have been a form of fermented cider. Unfortunately, no recipes I 
am aware of survive, and interestiongly, by the later 15th century (when we 
get instructions) the fermented beverage made from apples is known as 'apple 
wine'. The only recipe for any 'dranc' that I know of makes a syrup. 

Make of it what you will, but apples used for making *some* kind of beverage 
are period. I'm guessing it's fermentd.
