Apple Crisp Macchiato

TikTok user @softpourn

Notes

A macchiato consists of espresso and milk, but if you don't have an espresso machine, you can make this drink with strong black coffee instead. Also, this recipe calls for a drizzle of caramel sauce and cinnamon sugar, which you can make by mixing 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 4 tablespoons white sugar. For a richer drink, top it off with whipped cream before adding the caramel and cinnamon sugar.
