The Humble Pie is an autumn cocktail that's meant to be an interpretation of the holiday staple—classic apple pie. The recipe mixes equal-parts apple brandy and Scotch whisky and layers in ginger and brown sugar syrups, allspice liqueur, aromatic bitters, and a hint of pepper for spice and complexity.
