Notes

  • You can use whatever milk you like. I personally love using half and half for iced coffee, and whole milk for the hot coffee version. Oat milk is my favorite non-dairy option.
  • The apple crisp syrup should stay refrigerated.
  • I used the skin of a granny smith apple as I like the strong apple flavor you get from the peel. Plus, it adds a nice bit of tart apple flavor.
  • You can also top your coffee with caramel syrup to make a caramel apple crisp macchiato.
