Recently added to the menu is the Apple Crisp Macchiato, available either hot or iced. Espresso is added to milk, with a spiced apple drizzle on top. You&#8217;ll also find the flavor of an Apple Brown Sugar Syrup.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>Let me start with a story. I&#8217;ve always understood that you do not stir a macchiato. After the espresso is layered on the milk, you let it naturally settle as you sip. A year or so ago, I mobile ordered an Iced Caramel Macchiato and sent my husband in to get it while I stayed in the car with our infant son. I gave him the explicit instructions NOT to stir the drink. Five minutes later, he walks out, and what is he doing? You guessed it. Shaking the drink around like it&#8217;s his job. Lesson learned: I go in and get the drink myself. (And he doesn&#8217;t live it down!)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/starbucksapplecrisp2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Starbucks Apple Crisp Macchiato Cup\" title=\"starbucksapplecrisp2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I share this story because it&#8217;s one of the reasons the Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato fell flat for me. When I got the drink, I could visibly see the Spiced Apple Drizzle and Apple Brown Sugar Syrup at the very bottom of the cup. And although that&#8217;s how macchiatos are constructed, unless I were to stir my iced beverage, there was no distribution of the flavor. I would have preferred the apple evenly distributed throughout the macchiato. I didn&#8217;t get a hint of apple until about 25% of the way through the drink. When I did get to taste the drizzle at the bottom, it was syrupy sweet. But overall, this really felt too similar in taste to the standard caramel version.<\/p>\n<p>What I did like, though, was the hint of spice. It did make it feel like a fall drink that could be a nice alternative for folks who aren&#8217;t PSL fans. I&#8217;d like to try the Apple Brown Sugar Syrup in a regular iced caffe latte and see if that brings out more of the flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/starbucksapplecrisp3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Starbucks Apple Crisp Macchiato Top\" title=\"starbucksapplecrisp3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two other cons for me: The Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato has A LOT of sugar (hello, 36 grams in a tall) and was A LOT of money for a tall. Just be prepared that your waistline and wallet may not like you if you&#8217;re a fan of these.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Just meh. Had higher hopes. I&#8217;m curious to see if the hot macchiato translates the same way&#8230; I&#8217;ll just have to add it to my list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.75<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Tall<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Starbucks<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 4 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 210 calories, 4 grams of total fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 36 grams of total sugars, 7 grams of protein, and 75 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update 9\/2\/22: We also tried the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato!
