Quick Caramel Apple Fudge
Ingredients:
– 3 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoons apple pie spice
– 1 cups dried apples, chopped
– 20 soft caramels, unwrapped
– 2 tablespoons heavy cream
– teaspoon sea salt optional, for garnish
Directions:
1. Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
2. Make the Fudge Base:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and apple pie spice.
3. Add Dried Apples:
Fold the chopped dried apples into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Pour the Fudge:
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
5. Make the Caramel Drizzle:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the caramels are fully melted and smooth.
6. Drizzle the Caramel:
Drizzle the melted caramel over the fudge. For a decorative swirl effect, use a toothpick to gently swirl the caramel into the fudge. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
7. Chill the Fudge:
Place the fudge in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
8. Slice and Serve:
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy this sweet, caramel-apple treat!
