Description
Crisp apples coated in creamy white chocolate and rolled in crushed freeze‑dried strawberries and shortcake cookie crumbs, for a handheld twist on strawberry shortcake.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (washed and dried)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup freeze‑dried strawberries, crushed
- ½ cup crushed shortcake cookies or graham crackers
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 6 wooden sticks
Instructions
- Insert wooden sticks into the top of each apple (about halfway through).
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave‑safe bowl in 30‑second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each apple into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly and letting excess drip off.
- Roll or sprinkle the coated apples with the crushed freeze‑dried strawberries and crushed shortcake cookies so they adhere to the chocolate.
- Place coated apples on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until the chocolate is set before serving.
Notes
- Use tart apples (like Granny Smith) to balance the sweetness of the coating. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
