Spiced Apple Drizzle – A Starbucks Favourite!

Starbucks, an American coffeehouse chain, is the largest in the world. Its headquarters is in Seattle, Washington. Starbucks has many flavors and coffees on the menu, but we will discuss Spiced Apple Drizzle.

Starbucks Spiced Apple Drizzle is the foundation of their new line of apple-inspired fall beverages. The apple brown sugar syrup adds some flavor, but the star of the show is the spiced apple.

The apple drizzle sauce is easy to recognize if you try it on its own (yes, I have done that). It tastes exactly like apple pie’s gooey goodness.

Starbucks drinks with apple pie filling and cinnamon flavors are delicious, as you can see.
Although I suspect the Apple line-up will not be as popular as Starbucks pumpkin drinks, it is an excellent addition to their autumn menu.
Starbucks customers seem to like the new brown sugar syrup in the Iced Brown Sugar Oat milk Espresso.

Spiced Apple Drizzle Recipe

Mix diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan to make your Starbucks Spiced Apple Drizzle. Stir the mixture on medium heat. Stir in the apple juice, and continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Could you take off the heat and let it cool?
This recipe makes about one cup of drizzle. That’s enough to make a lot of macchiatos. Keep the sauce in the fridge.
The remaining diced apples can be used as a side dish or snack. This recipe takes only minutes to prepare. These are the steps for making the apple drizzle.

Step 1 – Cube the apples and sprinkle lemon juice.

Honeycrisp is my favorite apple for this recipe. The apples should be sliced and chopped. Mix the lemon juice and place the apples in a large saucepan.

Step 2 – Mix sugar and spices together.

Then, combine all dry ingredients in one separate bowl. Next, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.

Step 3 – Add apple juice to the bowl and mix until smooth.

The next step is to warm the apple juice in a microwave. I prefer to heat it in a Pyrex measuring cup with a handle. Be careful when you take the microwave’s hot liquid out.
Stir the apple juice into your apple mixture. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens. That takes a few seconds.

4: Take off the heat and strain the apples. Cool the Spiced Apple Drizzle.

Let the apple drizzle cool down after removing it from the heat. As it cools, the apple drizzle will thicken slightly. Then use your homemade Starbucks apple drizzle to top espresso drinks. You can also make delicious ice cream toppings with it!
