Ingredients
- 1 cup (100g) dried apples, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce or melted soft caramels
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (170g) graham cracker crumbs or vanilla wafer crumbs
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate or white candy melts
- Optional garnish: drizzle of caramel sauce, crushed graham crumbs, or sea salt
Instructions
- Finely chop dried apples and set aside.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, caramel sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in graham cracker crumbs and chopped dried apples until the mixture holds together.
- Cover and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip chilled truffles into melted white chocolate, coating completely, and place back on parchment.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle crushed graham crackers or sea salt on top if desired.
- Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Use soft, chewy dried apples for best texture.
- For extra caramel flavor, swirl a little caramel into the center before rolling the truffles.
- These make great edible gifts—package them in mini candy cups or boxes.
- Substitute milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor.
