This copycat apple crisp oatmilk frappucino with maple whipped cream tastes as delicious as it sounds.
Unlike the original Starbucks version, this instant fall favorite uses iced apple cider cubes and real maple syrup that takes this delicious drink to a whole new level of amazing.
Whether you’re a Starbucks regular or not, you’ve got to admit they make delicious drinks. Even so, making your own version at home allows you to get really creative and decadent with it, which is why we just had to develop our own—dare we say—better version! With creamy oat milk, apple, cinnamon, maple, and brown sugar flavors, it’s the ultimate fall drink!
The name of this drink may be as long as your CVS receipt, but it’s actually a super easy recipe. Just blend up apple cider cubes with espresso and oat milk. Then pour it into your favorite glass and top with whipped cream, maple sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Is there really any better way to celebrate the fall season?
What is in an apple crisp oatmilk frappuccino?
- Apple cider ice cubes: don’t have time to make apple cider cubes? Use ½ cup of apple cider and 1 cup of regular ice cubes. It still tastes delicious!
