This delightful Apple Crisp Macchiato blends the comforting flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar with rich espresso and creamy milk. It’s perfect for fall or whenever you’re craving something cozy and indulgent!
Ingredients:
For the Apple Crisp Drizzle:
- 2 cups apple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
For the Apple Crisp Syrup:
- 1 large apple, sliced
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple juice
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon apple flavoring (optional)
For the Apple Crisp Macchiato:
- 2 tablespoons apple crisp syrup
- ¾ cup 2% milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 shot espresso
- 2 tablespoons apple crisp drizzle
Directions:
1. Make the Brown Sugar Apple Syrup:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, apple juice, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in the optional apple flavoring, and let it cool. Once cooled, strain the mixture and set aside.
2. Make the Apple Crisp Drizzle:
In another saucepan, mix the apple juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue cooking until it’s reduced by about half (this should take around 25-30 minutes).
Allow the drizzle to cool; it will thicken as it cools.
3. Assemble the Apple Crisp Macchiato:
In a glass filled with ice, pour in the milk and add 2-3 tablespoons of the apple syrup.
Add a shot of espresso on top of the milk.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the apple crisp drizzle over the top.
