While baking is a good option, I find that I am baking nearly every second day at the moment and as delicious as it is, it's not very forgiving on the waist-line! Solution: put the yummy-ness in not-so-bad-for-you drink form!
Enter the apple pie latte.
Complicated, no. Delicious, crave-curbing, apple-y heaven...yes. This drink is super easy to make too! So simple, in fact, that you may just replace your everyday, hum-drum coffee with this little dandy! It's one of those drinks that warms you up from the inside out, so if you're fortunate enough to have warmer weather, go ahead and serve it over ice for a real treat! Hot or cold, it's a delicious way to start or end any day!
Apple Pie Latte
serves 2
Indgredients:
1 cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/2 tsp cinnamon
a pinch of nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup hot brewed coffee
sugar or maple syrup to taste (I used a hearty 1 1/4 tbsp helping for mine!)
Method:
1. Pour milk, apple sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and sugar into a liquid measuring cup and whisk with a fork until combined. Place in microwave and cook until mixture is just bubbling. It should smell like apple pie when you take it out of the microwave!
2. Brew coffee of your choice. Combine coffee and milk mixture and pour into mugs of choice.
Enjoy!
