That cold bite of the wind on my cheek and the crackle of leaves under my feet are a little reminder that it is time to fill the kitchen with all things spiced, baked, and flavored with apple. This cocktail is my own creation. As the granddaughter a pie legend, I believe pie to be nearly a religion and that perfect balance of sweet and rich filling with the salty crisp crust my center. So when I decided to make a cocktail that would have pie in the name, no ordinary apple and cinnamon combo would do. The sweet and salty rim on the glass makes this cocktail as satisfying as a great slice of pie. It may sound strange, but I urge you to try using Cinnamon "Salger" and experience the my apple pie cocktail
