Description
This Apple Crisp Frappuccino is a deliciously refreshing and cozy drink that combines the warm flavors of cinnamon-spiced apples with strong brewed coffee and creamy oat milk. Topped with whipped heavy cream, caramel drizzle, and a dash of cinnamon, it perfectly replicates the comforting taste of apple crisp in a chilly, slushy beverage.
Ingredients
Apple Syrup
- 1 apple, cubed
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
Frappuccino Base
- 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup ice
- 1 1/4 cup oat milk
Toppings
- 3 tbsp heavy cream, whipped
- 1 1/2 tsp caramel sauce
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients including cubed apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, brewed coffee, ice, oat milk, heavy cream, and caramel sauce to ensure you have everything ready for the recipe.
- Cook Apples: In a saucepan, combine the cubed apples, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a syrup. Once done, strain the mixture to separate the syrup from the apple bits and set the syrup aside.
- Blend Coffee and Ice: Pour the strong brewed coffee and the ice into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a slushy, icy consistency.
- Add Milk and Syrup: Add the oat milk and the prepared apple cinnamon syrup into the blender with the coffee and ice. Blend again on high until well combined and smooth.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the frappuccino into a serving glass. Top with whipped heavy cream, drizzle caramel sauce over the cream, and sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your apple crisp frappuccino.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a robust flavor that balances the sweetness of the apple syrup.
- Straining the apple syrup ensures a smooth, drinkable texture without chunks.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut whipped cream and ensure caramel sauce is vegan-friendly.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for more or less spice.
- This recipe serves one but can easily be scaled up for multiple servings.
