STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Let's make this delicious apple Starbucks drink!

Step 1: First, let's make apple caramel, which gave the macchiato the fall apple pie flavors.

In a small saucepan add brown sugar and cook for about 5 minutes or until it melts. You need to stir the sugar so it doesn't burn.

When the sugar is completely melted remove from the heat and add butter. Stir until combined. Now, it's time for some liquids. Slowly add apple juice until the caramel is nice and creamy. If you feel like the caramel sauce is too liquidy, simply bring it to a boil and cook for about 1 minute.

But keep in mind caramel will be watery when it's hot. If you cool it down or put it into the fridge it will settle down and will be thick but still creamy.

When the caramel is ready add cinnamon and a pinch of salt to taste.

Step 2: In a large cup add oat milk, and apple caramel, and which until fluffy.

Next, add ice cubes into the cup along with a shot of espresso. Carefully add oat milk on top. If you want to have 2 separate layers, pour the milk slowly with a spoon.

Top with whipped cream and extra apple caramel on top. Enjoy!

SERVING

Serve this iced apple crisp macchiato with whipped cream and a drizzle of apple caramel. Or there are other apple crisp toppings, such as caramel chunks, extra cinnamon, or dried apples.

STORING

I don't recommend storing this beverage. It is best consumed within the first few hours!

FAQ

Does apple crisp macchiato have caffeine?

Yes, this macchiato contains caffeine. But you can use non-caffeinated coffee if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Is apple crisp macchiato vegan?

Yes. I used oat milk, which is naturally dairy-free and vegan.

Is apple crisp macchiato sweet?

It is as sweet as you made it. In my recipe, I added the perfect amount of sweetness. But it's always up to you. If you like your coffee sweet just add more apple caramel. But on the other hand, if you want your coffee stronger, just add less caramel. It will be delicious both ways.
