Ingredients for Apple Pie Fudge

  • Applesauce
  • Margarine
  • Evaporated Milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 (10 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

How to Make Apple Pie Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, evaporated milk, and granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
  2. **Important:** Continue stirring frequently to prevent burning. The mixture will be thick and may splatter.
  3. Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  4. Add the marshmallow cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and apple pie spice. Stir until completely combined and smooth.
  5. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan (for thicker fudge) or a 13x9 inch baking pan (for thinner fudge).
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
