Cocktail Gingerbread Apple Crisp

Ahhh, the first week of fall. The air is getting crisper, we’re breaking out the riding boots and cozy sweaters, and pumpkin-spice everything is available everywhere.

But there’s another staple of fall that is often overlooked – apples! In honor of apple picking season, here’s a delicious cocktail to serve when you’ve returned home from the orchards, or even during Sunday brunch! It’s apple crisp, in a glass.
