This Caramel Apple Pie Fudge is caramel apples meets apple pie. A fantastic Fall dessert mash-up or anytime during the year!
Another fun fall treat is our Caramel Apple Nachos – a deconstructed caramel apple that is loaded with caramel, chocolate, and lots of fun toppings!
When our kids were little, they used to go on a pumpkin patch field trip with their school every year. It was a pretty epic one with a petting zoo, train ride, gigantic trampoline, massive climbing haystack…the works. Plus a gift and snack shack, of course.
One year my husband took them just for a fun weekend activity. They returned home with a little container of candy Lego bricks. Edible Lego bricks…they stack and everything. Pretty neat. In my husband’s other hand was fudge. Caramel Apple Pie Fudge. I about died at first contact.
I immediately went online to find the recipe and pretty much searched everywhere, but nothing! You can buy it from places, but ain’t nobody giving out that recipe! After I cried, I regrouped and went to work on creating my own.
Spot on. This Caramel Apple Pie Fudge tastes just like if a caramel apple and apple pie got married. And absolutely amazing.

Tips for Success
- This recipe calls for apple cider, NOT apple cider vinegar. You don’t want your fudge tasting like vinegar.
- Make sure you are using sweetened condensed milk, NOT evaporated milk.
- I preferGhirardelli white chocolate chips over any other. It seems to have a smoother texture and melts easier.
- After bringing the mixture to a rolling boil, don’t stop stirring! If you stop, your mixture could burn.
- Use Dulce de Leche, not caramel syrup. Caramel syrup is too thin and can add moisture to the fudge, which won’t allow it to set properly.
