Warm, nostalgic, and buttery.

Experience the comforting flavors of a classic autumn harvest reimagined as a gourmet treat. Our Apple Cider Shortbread features a rich, buttery base infused with the deep, caramelized essence of concentrated boiled apple cider. Packed with tart, crunchy freeze-dried apple pieces, each cookie is finished with a layer of royal icing and generously hand-coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, sparkling crunch that mimics a fresh cider doughnut.

The Braylit Difference

We don't just use apple flavoring; we use the real thing. By boiling down apple cider into a thick, flavorful reduction, we infuse the shortbread with a depth of flavor that mimics a slow-simmered cider. The shortbread texture provides a melt-in-your-mouth experience that acts as the perfect canvas for the bright, concentrated apple pieces and our signature cinnamon-sugar crust.
