Apple Pie a la mode... er... in a cup. This, in my opinion, is the best non coffee drink available at Starbucks. In the summer I prefer the Light Mocha Frapp, but come October, its Caramel Apple Spice. All. The. Way. Most days, when I really want one, it's freezing out (which is why I want it so bad in the first place) and I don't feel like getting my coat and shoes on (lazy, I know) and getting in my freezing cold car, and driving all the way to my nearest Starbucks (which is a whole 3 miles away), getting out in the freezing cold, standing in line, waiting for my drink, getting back in my car- which may or may not still be freezing, and driving home. So I looked online and
here it was-- in all its glory. You'll never have to go to Starbucks for a Caramel Apple Spice again... well... with the exception of picking up a bottle of Cinnamon Dulce.
Ingredients for a Tall Caramel Apple Spice
12 oz. Apple Juice (Starbucks often uses TreeTop, but any kind will do)
2-4 Tbs (or 3 pumps) Starbucks Cinnamon Dulce(to taste). If you aren't picky, I recommend the Sugar Free kind (which has 0 calories). Normal Cinnamon Dulce has 80 Calories in 2 Tbs! ($6.95 from Starbucks, when you buy ask if they have any extra pumps to give you)
Whip Cream
Caramel Syrup
Directions
1. Heat your apple juice and cinnamon dulce in the microwave or on the stove. (you'll want it hot like coffee)
2. Pour in cup and top with whip cream and caramel syrup
There you have it! Wasn't that better than driving to Starbucks?
