This Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso is fall in a cup. A cozy blend of apple, a caffeine kick, and creamy oat milk come together for a perfect sip of autumn in this iced apple latte.
Fall or autumn is the peak coffee season, at least in my mind.
But it’s been unseasonably warm, so a fall iced coffee is the perfect drink you need this season!
Inspired by the Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato, this iced apple latte is the perfect transition into a cooler-weather drink.

Apple sauce, oat milk, and brown sugar come together with a strong espresso to make this fall drink.
The key to this recipe is shaking or mixing the espresso with the sugar and apple sauce.
I love using a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a lid to shake up all the ingredients.
A cocktail shaker with a strainer is ideal for this recipe as the applesauce may be thick and chunky in the drink otherwise. The extra bit of work is well worth the effort!

How to make Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso?

Pour the mixture into a tall glass. Add 1/2 cup of ice.
Top with the oat milk or milk of choice.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and top with dried apple or apple chips if desired.
Recipe Tips
- Shaking the ingredients together cools down the espresso while mixing the ingredients together well.
- You’ll need either a cocktail shaker or a jar with a lid to shake this drink.
- A cocktail shaker with a strainer is ideal for this recipe as the applesauce may be thick and chunky in the drink otherwise. You can also pour the drink through a sieve before pouring it into the cup.
- While lattes are typically made with espressos, this drink would also be delicious with a strong black coffee!
- This drink is best enjoyed chilled as soon as you make it.
- Lately, I’ve been using my Nespresso machine for espresso drinks. The Bianco Doppio pods are my favorite for latte or milk-based drinks!
