This Caramel Apple Latte is a fun fall twist on your morning cup of joe. Think of it like eating a piece of apple pie with a cup of coffee – the flavors just work! It’s warm and spiced and a touch sweet with a very subtle apple flavor. It’s a fall morning in a mug.

Notes
This recipe makes enough caramel apple sauce for 3-4 lattes, depending on how much you use. If you want to make one serving of the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon each of the apple butter and caramel in the bottom of your glass/mug. Or make a bunch and keep it in the fridge for lattes all week long! This recipe is easily doubled or even quadrupled.
