Read on for our Starbucks Apple Crisp Frappuccino recipe, and enjoy the delectable taste of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar in your brew.

Helpful Hints and Tips

• If you don’t have espresso, brew 90 ml of strong, dark roast coffee with any brewing method. We recommend a French press, Moka pot, or AeroPress to mimic the mouthfeel of espresso. For a more clean, crisp cup to compliment the notes of apple, try a pour over method.
• Swap whipped cream for coconut whipped topping to make this frappuccino dairy-free and vegan-friendly. You can easily make your own by chilling coconut cream or coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Then, separate the hardened cream from any liquid, and whip the cream with a handheld or electric mixer until light peaks form (1).
• Missing brown sugar syrup? Use caramel syrup or maple syrup to give the desired smoky sweetness.
• It may be hard to come by apple-flavoured syrup. In that case, cook ¼ cup of apple juice or even organic apple sauce in a small saucepan until it reduces to 2 tablespoons.
• Not sold on apple-and-spice? Try one of our other copycat frappuccino recipes, like the Strawberry creme or Cotton candy drink.

How To Make Apple Crisp Frappuccino

The apple crisp oat milk frappuccino is one of the most popular beverages from Starbucks – no mean feat given their extensive Frappuccino list. Now it’s your turn to recreate this apple delight. Here’s how to make one.

1. Prepare Your Brew And Ice

Pull a double shot of espresso. For an afternoon or evening frappuccino, consider making it decaf.

Once your espresso is ready, add it to your blender along with cubed or crushed ice.

2. Make The Simple Syrup

Pour 1 tbsp each of brown sugar syrup and apple syrup into your blender.

If you are lucky enough to come across the brown sugar Starbucks apple crisp syrup, you can use that. You’ll have to hunt for it online as it is only available seasonally and, sadly, not sold in Starbucks stores.

3. Add Milk, Spice, And Blend It All Nice

Measure 1 cup of oat milk into your blender. Then add 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice.

You can either buy premade apple pie spice or make your own by combining 1 tbsp of ground cinnamon, 1 tsp each of nutmeg powder and ground cardamom, and ½ tsp each of ground allspice and ground ginger (3).

Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.

4. Garnish And Serve

Pour your drink into a tall glass and top it with optional whipped cream. For a tasty and visually-stunning element, drizzle apple syrup in zigzags and dust apple pie spice on top.
