Ingredients
Scale
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons apple crisp syrup
1 tablespoon caramel sauce
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
If making your own apple crisp syrup, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
Warm the milk in a saucepan or microwave.

Pour the coffee or espresso into a mug.
Pour the warm milk mixture over the coffee.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
For a vegan version, use a plant-based milk and ensure your caramel sauce is dairy-free.
The apple crisp syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less caramel sauce.
