Add a little sea salt to the top of it. Delicious!

enjoy this. i think it is delicious
You can also purchase the cinnamon syrup instead of making it. Starbucks sells its big bottles for $8 and they last forever.
Fresh ground nutmeg on top is a must!!!
Starbucks uses their own bottled Cinnamon Dulce syrup. They sell it to the public, I usually have to ask for the syrups. They use Tree Tops apple juice & Cinnamon Dulce syrup, whipped cream with drizzle of caramel.
I think I love you…!
Made a double batch of this for my work Thanksgiving today with the brown sugar syrup…pretty much dead on with Starbucks, thank you for sharing!
They don’t sell Treetop products in our area = ( Is there another apple juice that would be similar or would it not be the same?
I made this today using Target brand apple juice and Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce syrup. Tastes just like the Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice.
I’m 7 months pregnant and have been craving the Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice pretty much every day. Thank you so much for this recipe because now my boyfriend doesn’t have to spend $4 every time I crave one of these!
