Equipment

Ingredients

For syrup:

For iced coffee:

  • Ice
  • 2 tablespoons apple crisp syrup
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 shot espresso
  • Cinnamon sugar for topping, optional
  • Caramel syrup for topping, optional

For hot coffee:

  • 2 tablespoons apple crisp syrup
  • 3/4 cup milk steamed
  • 1 shot espresso
  • Cinnamon sugar for topping, optional
  • Caramel syrup for topping, optional

Instructions

For syrup:

  • In a small pot add water, dark brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, and apple peel.
  • Cook over medium-high heat until bubbling and reduce down by half.
  • The syrup mixture should be slightly viscous but not thick like syrup.
  • Let cool, remove the apple peel, and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

For iced drink:

  • Fill a glass with ice.
  • Add syrup and top with milk.
  • Pour espresso shot over the milk.
  • Top with cinnamon sugar and caramel syrup, optional.
  • Stir to combine and enjoy.

For hot drink:

  • Add apple crisp syrup to a coffee mug.
  • Pour in steamed milk.
  • Pour espresso shot over the steamed milk.
  • Top with cinnamon sugar and caramel syrup, optional.
  • Gently stir to combine and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use whatever milk you like. I personally love using half and half for iced coffee, and whole milk for the hot coffee version. Oat milk is my favorite non-dairy option.
  • The apple crisp syrup should stay refrigerated.
  • I used the skin of a granny smith apple as I like the strong apple flavor you get from the peel. Plus, it adds a nice bit of tart apple flavor.
  • You can also top your coffee with caramel syrup to make a caramel apple crisp macchiato.
