Caramel Apple Fudge
Ingredients:
– 2 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon apple extract or apple flavoring
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 cup dried apple pieces, chopped
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: Sea salt flakes for garnish
Directions:
1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of the fudge later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir over low heat until the mixture is smooth and melted.
3. Add Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, apple extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the chopped dried apple pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the fudge mixture.
5. Add Caramel: Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce on top. Then, pour the remaining fudge mixture over this layer and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the caramel into the fudge for a marbled effect.
6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3-4 hours, or until it is fully set. Once set, cut into small squares and, if desired, sprinkle sea salt flakes on top before serving.
7. Serve: Enjoy the rich, creamy, and fruity flavor of caramel apple fudge as a decadent dessert or sweet treat.
