Apple Cinnamon Coffee: A Cozy Autumn Drink for Home

Fall drinks are returning to cafes and home kitchens. Apple and cinnamon pair well with coffee and give a warm, lightly sweet flavor without a lot of sugar.

Ingredients for 2 mugs

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 cup unsweetened apple juice or apple cider
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus a cinnamon stick
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• A thin apple slice for garnish

Steps

1. Warm the apple juice with the cinnamon stick and ground cinnamon for 5 minutes. Do not boil.
2. Stir the coffee into the warm apple juice.
3. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if needed.
4. Pour into mugs and garnish with an apple slice.

Tips

• Use decaf coffee for an evening version.
• Those with diabetes should skip the honey and use the apple juice only.
