It tastes like apple pie meets fudge, and the best part? No baking, no fancy equipment—just melt, mix, and chill!
Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup dried apples (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp apple pie spice (optional, but delicious!)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional topping: A sprinkle of cinnamon, white chocolate drizzle, or extra dried apple pieces
Pro Tips
- Use dried apples! Fresh apples have too much moisture and can make the fudge too soft.
- Toast the cinnamon! Warm it in a dry pan for 30 seconds to bring out the best flavor.
- Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for that perfect fudgy texture.
- Swirl in caramel. For a caramel apple twist, drizzle caramel on top before chilling.
- Make it extra special! Add a crushed graham cracker crust before pouring the fudge for a pie-like texture.
Tools You’ll Need
- Medium saucepan
- Spatula
- 8×8-inch baking dish

- Knife for cutting
Substitutions & Variations
