Sure, pumpkin spice latte is very likely the iconic fall coffee drink. But we think this reduced-sugar apple cider latte may just give the PSL a run for its money. Though to some it may seem a bit strange to mix cider and coffee, the tart sweetness of the apple really helps to bring out the subtle fruity notes of the espresso, especially if you've brewed a shot with some high-quality espresso. And it is all balanced with the toasty warm brown sugar-like sweetness of Truvia Sweet Complete Brown sweetener.

Though you could just simply serve it with the steamed milk, we think the best way to really amp up the fall flavor is to add a spiced whipped cream (yes, it is pumpkin spice, but we use it for apple pies and non-pumpkin things all the time!). We can guarantee after your first sip of this latte, you're never going to want to start a fall day without one.

Ingredients

For The Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream

1/2 c.
heavy cream
2 tbsp.
Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener
1/2 tsp.
pumpkin spice, plus more for dusting

For The Latte

1
shot espresso (2 oz.)
1/2 c.
apple cider
1/2 tbsp.
Truvia Sweet Complete Brown with a hint of Molasses Sweetener
1/2 c.
hot milk

Directions

1. Step 1Make whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine cream, Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener, and pumpkin spice. Using an electric mixer, beat heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag and chill until latte is ready.
2. Step 2Make latte: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine espresso, apple cider, and Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the Truvia is dissolved and the coffee is steaming but not boiling, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour coffee mixture into a mug.
3. Step 3Foam milk using a steamer or milk foamer, and pour over coffee. Top with fall spice whip cream and a dusting of pumpkin spice.
