Description
Indulge in the comforting flavors of apple pie in a bite-sized truffle! These delightful treats feature a creamy apple and cinnamon filling coated in smooth chocolate, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup finely diced cooked apples (about 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and sautéed until tender)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- Optional: chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, or cinnamon sugar for coating
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced cooked apples, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Chill the apple mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
- Once chilled, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each apple ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork or toothpick to lift the truffle and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, or cinnamon sugar for added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For the cooked apples, you can sauté them with a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of brown sugar for extra flavor before dicing. Ensure they are cooled completely before mixing.
- If white chocolate seizes, add a tiny bit more oil and stir vigorously.
- You can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate for dipping.
- These truffles are best enjoyed chilled.
