Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup apple pie filling, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out once set.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring constantly to create a smooth blend without burning.
- Add Flavorings and Apple Filling: Stir in the finely chopped apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and the mixture is uniformly smooth.
- Incorporate Caramel: Remove the mixture from heat and gently fold in the 1/2 cup caramel sauce, swirling it through the fudge mixture without completely mixing to create lovely caramel ribbons.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top and use a toothpick to create decorative swirls.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
- Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into approximately 25 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use either homemade or canned apple pie filling—chop finely for best texture.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a firmer fudge, reduce the amount of apple pie filling to 1/3 cup.
