Hi, my name is Aimee, and I’m addicted to fudge.
See those bits of apple in there? Yep, apple. As in apple pie filling.
I couldn’t do apple week without making fudge. I mean, you all expected this, right?
These were actually the first apple desserts I made for #appliciousweek!!
The creamy fudge with chunks of apple pie alone are amazing. But then I topped each one with a piece of a gingersnap (quite possibly one of my favorite cookies…)
If you wait a few hours after putting those cookie bits on, they soften like a pie crust. OMG. LOVED this fudge!
I hope you have enjoyed Apple Week! Check out some of the other blogs participating:

You two are awesome, congrats on such a successful week!
Yeah! I know I can always count on your for amazing recipes. And fudge? Count me in. I’m going to the store this weekend to buy the ingredients! Thanks so much!
I love you and this fudge! Why have I never thought of eating fudge and cookies together? You’ve opened up a whole new world to me! I’m sitting here thinking of all the different flavor combinations…I see a lot of fudge in my future, yes I love you (of course in a friend, non-stalking kinda way!)
do you melt the chocolate first or just have it in little pieces?
No need to melt it. You pour the hot mixture over it and blend until chocolate turns smooth!

Featuring this one too
Thanks ! Perfect for a tea luncheon I am planning ! So pretty and tasty !
Did you use white chocolate chips or what kind of white chocolate? Could I use chocolate chips??
I used white chocolate chips. I wouldn’t recommend chocolate as it would really alter the taste of the fudge!
You have such unique fudge recipes! Made this one tonight for our Thanksgiving get-together at work tomorrow. LOVE it! Not saying this might be addictive or anything, but I did lick the beater…and a little of the bowl…but that’s normal, right?!
Can’t wait to feel like a rock star when everyone at work tries this tomorrow. Thank you SO much for sharing!
The fudge was a HUUUUUGE hit today at our work party! Thank you, thank you! I think for our Christmas get together, I’ll try one of your other fudge recipes. You rock!
I was wondering about baking the gingersnap into the bottom of the pan and pouring the fudge over top of it? How soft did the cookie stuck into the fudge become? Maybe I will turn the pan once hardened so the cookie would be on top or crumble the cookie into the pan and then pour fudge. Ill let you know how it turns out.
Hello! I’ writing from Italy! sometimes I do not understand some ingredients, becose they are typical Americans and ready-to-use sold in USA supermarkets. Can I ask politely what you mean by apple pie filling? a puree of cooked appleslides?
Thank you

Apple Pie filling comes in can, and it is an alternative to making your own filling. It is not pureed though. Bake apple slices or apple chunks with a bit of flour, sugar and cinnamon, etc. just like you would an apple pie but without the crust. Cool and use in recipe.
You have 3 cups of white chocolate. Is that chips or bark? And melted right? Can you further explain the step please?
I use white chocolate chips, but regular white chocolate bars would work too. And not melted. Just put it in a bowl and set aside. Then, when you pour the hot melted sugar mixture over it, you whisk it until smooth! Hope this helps!!! ENJOY!

I tried this and it never hardened for me. May have to retry this recipe and see where I went wrong.
I made these with a gingersnap “crust”. I used a 11.5″x8.5″ pan (quarter sheet steamtable pan. I used Martha Stewart gingersnap recipe with 1.5tsp ground ginger, and put a thin later and baked 25min, to ensure crispness.3 cups of white chocolate is 18oz.It’s a little sweet for me personally, but with the gingersnap crust it really gives it a nice flavor, and it has gotten better after sitting a few days .
To the person who said it didn’t set, you have to cook it longer to set the sugar.all in all, I would make it again. I included it in my holiday tins and everyone liked it.
PS, I would also make in a regular brownie pan next time so it’s not so thick.
After being in the fridge all night, it’s still a bit soft…too soft, I think. I was trying to cut it with a clean, dry knife and it was smushing.
The only thing I can think of that I did different is chopping up the apple pie filling. Or maybe I didn’t cook the sugar mix long enough? Any ideas?
*facepalm*
I thought I read all the comments, but it seems I missed some. Ok, it looks like I may not have cooked the sugar long enough…I will try it again another time.
Ooh, I love this idea – your fudge looks so good! Fudge with white chocolate and apple pie filling sounds too delicious!
