Starbucks apple crisp macchiato

2 tbsp Apple crisp syrup
3/4 Cup 2% milk Can use any milk you'd like
1 Espresso shot
2 tbsp Apple Crisp drizzle

Instructions

Make the brown sugar apple syrup

Place the sliced apple in a medium sauce pan, top them with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, apple juice and water.
Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add in the apple flavoring, and stir
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.
Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until the apple juice has reduced by about a little over 3/4 of the original amount. You should have about 1/3-1/2 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).
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 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.

To make this drink hot, pour steamed milk in a glass, add in the apple syrup, espresso shot, and the apple crisp drizzle and enjoy!
