  • 1/2 Water
  • 1 whole Fuji Apple peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 shots Expresso 2 shots per drink use 8 shots for 4 macchiatos
  • 1/2 Cup Oat Milk 1/2 cup oatmilk per macchiato drink

Instructions

Make the Simple Syrup

  • Combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of water in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool and place in a glass jar. The simple sugar will last for 1 month in the fridge.

Prepare the Apple Mix

  • Take a peeled, cored, and diced apple.Place the diced apple in a mortar and pestle.

Make the Apple Syrup

  • Use a muddler or mortar and pestle to mash and muddle the diced apple. This helps release the apple's juices and flavors.Add half a shot of simple syrup to the muddled apple. The sweetness can be adjusted to your taste preferences.Sprinkle in about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (or adjust to taste) to enhance the apple's sweetness and flavor.Combine the ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. Strain the syrup out of the mixture in a nut milk bag.

Assemble the Apple Crisp Macchiato

  • Fill a lidded cup or mason jar with ice cubes. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of apple syrup into the glass. Pour 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso over the ice. Place the lid securely on the glass. Shake the glass vigorously to chill the espresso and combine it with the ice. Pour oat milk over the top and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Make Optional Whipped Cream
  • Pour whipped cream into a standing mixer or mixing bowl. Beat on medium low until stiff peaks form.
