It’s apple season! From apple picking to apple pies to apple ciders, I love it all. To welcome my favorite season of the year and celebrate one of my favorite flavors, I took a classic old fashioned and added a seasonal twist with a splash of apple cider and a hint of maple, garnished with a cinnamon stick: the perfect autumn cocktail.
