Ingredients

1 cup brewed coffee strong and hot
1 cup milk any kind, including almond or oat
2 tablespoons caramel sauce divided
1 tablespoon apple butter
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream optional
additional caramel sauce for garnish
cinnamon stick for garnish optional

Instructions

Brew the Coffee and Drizzle Caramel. Brew a cup of strong and hot coffee using your preferred method. (You can use a drip coffee maker, French press, or any other brewing method you like.) While it is brewing, 1 tablespoon drizzle caramel sauce (NOT syrup) inside mugs.
Warm and flavor the Milk In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium-low heat until it's warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding and ensure an even temperature. Once the milk is warm, add 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, apple butter, cinnamon, and vanilla to the saucepan. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Assemble. In a heat-resistant glass or mug, pour the brewed coffee. Slowly pour the warm and flavored milk over the coffee. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. For an elegant touch, add a cinnamon stick as a garnish.
Garnish. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. For an elegant touch, add a cinnamon stick as a garnish.

Notes

If you have an espresso machine, 1-2 shots of espresso is delicious and the "right" way to make a latte. But I don't have one so this is what I do. :)
