Ingredients
Apple Syrup
- 1 apple, cubed
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
Frappuccino Base
- 1 cup ice
- 1 1/4 cup oat milk
Toppings
- 3 tbsp heavy cream, whipped
- 1 1/2 tsp caramel sauce
Instructions
- Cook Apple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the cubed apple, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a syrup-like consistency.
- Strain Syrup: Remove the pan from heat and strain out the cooked apples, setting the cinnamon-infused apple syrup aside to cool completely before using in the frappuccino.
- Blend Coffee and Ice: Add the strong brewed coffee and ice into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture has a slushy texture.
- Add Milk and Syrup: Pour the oat milk and cooled cinnamon apple syrup into the blender with the coffee slush. Blend again until smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy and flavorful frappuccino base.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the frappuccino into a glass. Top with whipped heavy cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy spiced apple flavors.
Notes
- Use strongly brewed coffee for a bold flavor that complements the sweet apple syrup.
- For a dairy-free option, replace heavy cream with coconut whipped cream or omit entirely.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or caramel sauce to taste.
- Cool the apple syrup completely before blending with ice to maintain texture and flavor balance.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people, just adjust the blender capacity accordingly.
