Published 9/10/2023 Unlike the original Starbucks version, this instant fall favorite uses iced apple cider cubes and real maple syrup that takes this delicious drink to a whole new level of amazing. Whether you’re a Starbucks regular or not, you’ve got to admit they make delicious drinks. Even so, making your own version at home allows you to get really creative and decadent with it, which is why we just had to develop our own—dare we say—better version! With creamy oat milk, apple, cinnamon, maple, and brown sugar flavors, it’s the ultimate fall drink! The name of this drink may be as long as your CVS receipt, but it’s actually a super easy recipe. Just blend up apple cider cubes with espresso and oat milk. Then pour it into your favorite glass and top with whipped cream, maple sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Is there really any better way to celebrate the fall season?
What is in an apple crisp oatmilk frappuccino?
Apple cider ice cubes: don’t have time to make apple cider cubes? Use ½ cup of apple cider and 1 cup of regular ice cubes. It still tastes delicious! Espresso: you can use your favorite brand of espresso here. Brown sugar: brown sugar will sweeten the espresso and give it a hint of spice. Cinnamon: cinnamon adds a lovely fall flavor to the espresso. Oat milk: oat milk makes this frappuccino creamy and dreamy. Homemade whipped cream: we made our whipped cream from scratch, but store-bought works too! Maple sugar: apple and maple sugar? Yes, please! Maple syrup: a drizzle of maple syrup brings all the fall flavors together. Blender: you’ll need a blender to get the consistency of this drink nice and smooth.
Substitutions & Variations
Oat Milk: This copycat apple crisp oatmilk frappucino would taste great with regular milk or non-dairy milk as well. Whipped Cream: While we recommend making your own whipped cream, any store-bought brand works too! Sugar: Feel free to swap out the brown sugar or maple sugar for your favorite low-calorie/low-carb sugar. Just note it’ll add a different taste. Maple Syrup: Is caramel more of your jam? Drizzle on some caramel sauce instead!
