Fall in a cup—with an attitude. This Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato layers bold espresso with warm apple-cinnamon syrup and cloud-soft oatmilk foam. It’s cozy sweater vibes meets laser focus, the Wild Octane way.

Ingredients

• 2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
  
  

• 1 cup oatmilk (barista blend recommended for frothing)
  
  

• 2 tbsp apple cider (fresh pressed if possible)
  
  

• 1 tbsp apple butter (or unsweetened applesauce + pinch of cinnamon)
  
  

• 1 tbsp brown sugar (or maple syrup for extra depth)
  
  

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  
  

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  
  

• Whipped oat cream (optional topping)
  
  

• Crispy oat-apple crumble (optional garnish – quick mix of oats, brown sugar, and butter baked until golden)
  
  

Instructions

1. Prepare the espresso – Brew two strong shots and set aside.
   
   

2. Make the apple crisp syrup – In a small saucepan, warm the apple cider, apple butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until dissolved and fragrant (2–3 minutes). Strain if chunky.
   
   

3. Steam the oatmilk – Froth the oatmilk until silky with a microfoam.
   
   

4. Assemble – Add the apple crisp syrup to the bottom of a glass. Slowly pour in the steamed oatmilk. Gently top with espresso shots for the layered “macchiato” effect.
   
   

Finish – Add whipped oat cream on top, sprinkle with apple-oat crumble, and a dusting of cinnamon.
