It's time to get excited for vibrant fall colours and recipes made with autumn's best flavours: cinnamon, apple and vanilla. If you're a big fan of all three, you'll want to make some room on your bar cart. Baileys has just released Baileys Apple Pie in Canada.
Every sip combines the taste of apples, cinnamon and Irish dairy cream for a drinkable version of this favourite dessert.
To celebrate the fall season, Baileys challenged three well-known Canadian creators to push the boundaries of what apple pie can be by creating treats that reimagine the classic dessert. With a nod to each of their respective cultural backgrounds, these recipes taste like comfort and feel like home — wherever that may be.
Try out the recipes below and transform the nostalgic fall flavours into a signature cocktail inspired by you.
