Instructions

1. Make The Syrup: Start by simmering together 1 cup (240 ml) of water and 1 cup (220 g) of brown sugar in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat. Add 2 cups (300 g) of sliced apples and 1/21/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. You will know it is ready when it has a syrupy consistency that smells amazing. Do not rush this step; if you do not let it cook long enough, it may end up runny.
2. Prep The Milk: While the apple brown sugar syrup cools, pour 6 oz (180 ml) of cold 2% milk into a frother. Whisk it until it becomes nice and foamy and doubles in volume. The froth should feel light and airy. If it is not frothing well, check the milk’s fat content as lower-fat options may not foam as well.
3. Assemble The Latte: Grab your favorite glass and add the apple syrup at the bottom. Pour 2 oz (60 ml) of freshly brewed espresso on top of the syrup, creating a visual contrast while allowing the syrup to swirl with the espresso. Be careful not to stir right away; you want to maintain the layered effect for both visuals and flavor.
4. Add Cold Foam: Gently spoon or pour the salted caramel cold foam (1/3 cup or 80 ml) over the espresso and syrup mix. The layered look should appear luscious. Avoid disturbing the layers too much for better presentation. If the foam sinks instead of floats, you may have over-frothed; it should be airy but stable.
5. Drizzle and Enjoy: Finish your drink with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce over the top. This not only enhances the sweetness but also adds the signature caramel apple flavor to your drink. Take a moment to admire your beautiful creation before enjoying it; it may also be perfect for sharing the experience with friends or on social media.

Notes

• Storage Tips: Keep apple brown sugar syrup in the fridge for about a month. The salted caramel syrup can also be stored in the fridge.
• Expert Tips: Make the apple brown sugar syrup ahead of time to save on prep time. Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor in your syrup. If the apple brown sugar syrup is not thickening, simmer it longer; cooling may also help achieve the desired consistency. If your cold foam is not frothing well, ensure you are using higher-fat milk. For a richer caramel flavor, consider using dark brown sugar in your apple brown sugar syrup.
• Troubleshooting: If the syrup did not thicken properly, ensure that you allowed it to simmer long enough. If the cold foam is not frothing, check the milk’s fat content. If the latte tastes too strong or bitter, add more milk or apple brown sugar syrup to mellow the flavor.
• Reheating Instructions: No reheating necessary as this drink is served cold.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with apple cider donuts for a seasonal treat. Serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up alongside pastries.
• Recipe Variations: Add more apple syrup for a sweeter taste. Use blonde espresso for a milder coffee flavor. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra fall flavor.
• Ingredient Notes: For an easier option, consider using store-bought apple brown sugar syrup or mix apple syrup with brown sugar syrup. Any kind of milk or non-dairy alternative can be used instead of 2% milk. Homemade or store-bought salted caramel syrup can be substituted for added convenience.
