Copycat Starbucks Apple Crisp Macchiato

This copycat Starbucks apple crisp macchiato made it’s debut in August 2021 in Starbucks cafés. The original apple crisp was a cold beverage. I think this hot version is the best. It’s so soothing and warming. A real treat in a mug. Now, you can make one right at home with my easy and simple recipe. Make one for yourself, sit down and enjoy every warm sip.
