Ahead of Thanksgiving this year, Angry Orchard, the nation’s leading cider maker, is partnering with Brooklyn-based pie shop Four & Twenty Blackbirds to launch limited-edition Boozy Baked Apple Pies made with Angry Orchard’s most recent cider innovation: Natural Baked Apple Pie Style Hard Cider.
The new cider, which launched this fall in the brand’s Fall Haul Variety Pack, will be incorporated directly into each pie for an extra kick.
Featuring a sweet blend of juicy apples paired with nutmeg, notes of creamy vanilla ice cream and topped off with buttery, baked flavors, Angry Orchard’s Natural Baked Apple Pie Style Hard Cider tastes just like a classic baked apple pie in a can.
To bring those flavors from the can to the dessert plate, the bakers at Four & Twenty Blackbirds created a classic, lightly spiced baked apple pie using two apple varieties – Empire and Jonnamac – grown right on the Angry Orchard in New York’s Hudson Valley.
Each pie features a silky-smooth caramel sauce that’s infused with the bright apple flavor of Angry Orchard’s Hard Cider and, for the perfect finishing touch, a toasty, buttery oat crumble on top.
The Boozy Baked Apple Pies are now available for nationwide delivery via the Four & Twenty Blackbirds website beginning November 2 ($44 with free shipping).
