There’s nothing quite like the aroma of fresh apple pie baking when summer weather turns to fall. Warm, spicy cinnamon notes tickle at the nose making the tongue water for the comforting flavors of home cooked goodness. Doña Elena’s Apple Pie quenches your comfort food thirst without the lingering time of baking. Cinnamon and sugar rim garnish gives this cocktail a boost of spicy sweet flavor reminiscent of apple pie.
