Let’s make some fudge!

What You’ll Need

For the Fudge:

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Apple Mixture:

  • ½ cup dried apples (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp apple cider or water

For the Topping:

  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
  • Extra cinnamon for dusting

Pro Tips

  1. Use dried apples! Fresh apples have too much moisture and can make the fudge too soft.
  2. Toast the cinnamon! Warm it in a dry pan for 30 seconds to bring out the best flavor.
  3. Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for the perfect texture.
  4. For extra apple pie vibes, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top before chilling.
  5. Want it extra spiced? Add ½ tsp of apple pie spice for an even warmer flavor.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Medium saucepan
  • Small saucepan (for apple mixture)
  • Spatula
  • 8×8-inch baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife for cutting

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut condensed milk.
  • Extra apple flavor: Add ½ tsp apple extract for a bolder taste.
  • Crunchy version: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Sweeter version: Drizzle caramel over the top before chilling.

Instructions

Make the Apple Mixture:

1. Cook the apples.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in dried apples, brown sugar, and apple cider (or water). Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
