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