Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apple Pie Truffles
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and become fragrant. Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled apple filling with graham cracker crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes moldable.
Take small portions of the apple mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the baking sheet with the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Once all the truffles are coated, leave them on the parchment paper to set for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
Ensure apples are cooked just until tender for optimal texture. Experiment with spices for added flavor. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
