Ingredients
  

Apple Crisp Mixture

  • 2 medium apples — peeled cored, and finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter — adds richness to the apple mixture
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar — creates a warm caramel-like sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon — gives the apples their classic fall flavor
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg — adds subtle warmth
  • Pinch of salt — balances the sweetness
  • ¼ cup old-fashioned oats — adds the comforting oatmeal flavor

Latte

  • 4 cups oat milk — use creamy oat milk for the smoothest texture
  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee — freshly brewed coffee gives the latte a rich base
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup — adds natural sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract — rounds out the apple and coffee flavors

For Serving

  • Whipped cream — optional for a dessert-style finish
  • Ground cinnamon — for sprinkling over the top
  • Apple crisp mixture — extra for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the apples. Peel and core the apples, then finely dice them into small pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the apple mixture. Add the diced apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and fragrant.
  • Add the oats. Stir the old-fashioned oats into the cooked apples. Continue cooking briefly until the oats absorb some of the warm apple and cinnamon flavor.
  • Warm the oat milk. Heat the oat milk gently in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
  • Froth the milk. Use a milk frother to create a light, creamy foam. If you don't have a frother, whisk the warm oat milk vigorously.
  • Add the coffee. Divide the strong brewed coffee between four mugs.
  • Add the apple mixture. Spoon some of the warm apple-oat mixture into each mug and gently stir it into the coffee.
  • Pour in the oat milk. Slowly add the warm, frothy oat milk to each mug, leaving some foam on top.
  • Garnish and serve. Top with whipped cream if desired, then sprinkle with cinnamon and add a small spoonful of the apple mixture. Serve warm.

Notes

 
  • Apple choice: Honeycrisp, Gala, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith apples all work well. For a sweeter latte, use a naturally sweet apple; for more contrast, use Granny Smith.
  • Coffee: Use strong brewed coffee or espresso so the coffee flavor remains noticeable alongside the apple and oat milk.
  • Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based butter and dairy-free whipped cream if desired.
  • For a stronger apple flavor: Add a little extra cooked apple mixture to each mug before serving.
