Apple crisp drizzle

  • 2 cup Apple juice
  • 2 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Apple crisp syrup

  • 1 large Apple Sliced
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup apple juice

  • ½ teaspoon apple flavoring optional

Starbucks apple crisp macchiato

  • 2 tablespoon Apple crisp syrup
  • ¾ cup 2% milk Use Oatmilk for their oat milk version
  • 1 Espresso shot
  • 2 tablespoon Apple Crisp drizzle

Instructions
 

Make the apple crisp syrup

  • Place the sliced apples in a medium sauce pan, and top them with brown sugar, cinnamon, apple juice, and water.
    1 large Apple Sliced, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup apple juice, ¾ cup Water, ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, add in the vanilla extract and apple flavoring, and stir
    ½ teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon apple flavoring optional
  • Let the syrup cool down fully then strain.

Make the apple crisp drizzle sauce

  • Place the apple juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
    2 cup Apple juice, 2 tablespoon Brown sugar, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until the apple juice has reduced by about a little over ¾ of the original amount. You should have about ⅓-1/2 cup of syrup left. On medium high heat, this took about 25-30 minutes for me.
  • Let the syrup cool down to room temperature. To speed up this process, pour the syrup into a shallow bowl to increase the cooling surface. It will thicken as it cools down and becomes almost like a caramel sauce or syrup.

Build your Starbucks apple crisp drink.

  • To a cup of ice add in the milk, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar apple syrup (use 3 tablespoons if you want it sweeter).
    2 tablespoon Apple crisp syrup, ¾ cup 2% milk
  • Top it with the freshly brewed espresso and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of apple crisp sauce, give it a good stir after taking a picture for the gram and enjoy!

Notes

My apple crisp drizzle syrup was reduced too much and now it’s sold after I chilled it, what should I do?

If the syrup reduced too much, you can add a few tablespoons of apple juice and bring to a simmer again to combine it then remove from heat and cool down again.
