Baking With Apple Pie Moonshine

While we typically think of alcohol as something to be enjoyed by drinking, many traditional recipes use alcohol to aid in caramelization or add depth of flavor. Think of your favorite rum cake, Banans’s Foster or tiramisu – all of these desserts use a touch of alcohol to create a balanced and luxurious final product. With notes of cinnamon and baking spices already infused into our recipe, Apple Pie Moonshake can easily replace the alcohol used in many alcohol-infused dessert recipes and will effortlessly blend into your next baking adventure.

A perfect centerpiece for potlucks, parties and cozy evenings at home, the luscious drizzle of Moonshake and caramel will bring smiles all around.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree

Slowly pour the Midnight Moon Apple Pie Moonshake over the cake, followed by caramel sauce, spreading evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
