Today I’m making a special fall fudge recipe. Fudge is NOT just for holidays. How loud would your gang sing your praises if THIS was on the counter any given weekday afternoon?
My Caramel Apple Fudge recipe is super rich and creamy with a sweet caramel finish. Apple pie filling and seasonings give it an authentic apple pie flavor. Caramel cream is swirled on top and throughout so that every bite gives you that caramel-apple flavor we all know and love.
