Instructions
Brew coffee. 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, drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce (NOT syrup) inside the mug.
Warm and flavor 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.
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. :)
