Ingredients

2 shots espresso
1 cup milk
1-2 tablespoons apple crisp syrup see recipe in notes
1 tablespoon caramel sauce optional

Instructions

First, make the apple crisp simple syrup. In a small pot, combine the water, granulated white sugar, brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, whisking until the sugar fully dissolves. Then add in the peeled and chopped apple slices and cinnamon stick. Continue to cook on low heat for another hour. Then cover the pot and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, strain the syrup from the apple slices and cinnamon stick. Now you have apple crisp simple syrup.
Brew two shots of espresso.
Heat the milk and froth. If your espresso machine has a frothing wand, this will be simple, but if not you can use a milk frother or a frothing wand.
Add the syrup to your coffee mug. Then pour in the hot milk. Then pour the espresso shots through the frothed milk. Top with caramel sauce if using.

Notes

Apple Crisp Simple Syrup = 1 cup water, 1/2 cup granulated white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 apples and 1 cinnamon stick.

You don’t have to leave the apples and cinnamon stick soaking in the syrup overnight, but I do think it deepens the flavor.

If you don’t want to throw the apples away, mash them up and you’ve got applesauce!

Use any milk you prefer: whole, 2% milk, oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, etc.

If you don’t want to make your own apple crisp simple syrup, you can use a store-bought apple syrup and a few pinches of cinnamon. I think the homemade syrup is worth the effort, but this is another option.
