Strawberry Shortcake Candy Apples are a festive dessert made with crisp apples coated in creamy white chocolate, rolled in crushed shortcake cookies, and topped with freeze-dried strawberries. They’re sweet, crunchy, and perfect for parties or holidays.

  • Total Time: 40–50 minutes (including setting time)
  • Yield: 6 candy apples

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

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry apples thoroughly, ensuring no moisture remains.
  2. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  3. Insert sticks into apples and dip each apple into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
  4. Roll coated apples into crushed cookies and freeze-dried strawberries, pressing gently so toppings stick.
  5. Place apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set until chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Swap shortcake cookies with vanilla wafers or graham crackers.
  • Add sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra texture.
  • Store at room temperature up to 2 days or in the fridge up to 4 days.
  • Let chilled apples sit at room temperature 10 minutes before eating.
