Cinnamon Apple Fudge (Vegan, Paleo)

 

Cinnamon Apple Fudge 5b

I hope you don’t mind but after my recent Pumpkin Fudge recipe I started thinking about the different kinds of fudge I could make with this easy recipe.  Continuing in the theme of fall I immediately wanted to use apple.  With apples being at their peak during the cooler months, what a great way to use seasonal ingredients.  Every year I make my own fruit butter with pears or apples (using this recipe) and what could be better then turning it into FUDGE!

I absolutely loved my pumpkin fudge but I must say that I think this version is even better!  So if you are not into pumpkin, and I know there are some of you out there, this is a version I think you will enjoy this Cinnamon Apple Fudge.  If you adore pumpkin like I do then for sure you should make both, do a taste test, and let me know which version you prefer.

When I posted my pumpkin fudge version I had a few questions from readers about substitutions for the coconut, since some people are allergic to it, and I suggest giving cashew butter a try.  I decided to use coconut in these fudge recipes to help keeps the cost down.  I am able to buy a bag of coconut flakes for less than $3 when a jar of nut butter can run upwards of $13 or more per jar.  If you can’t think that you can eat clean on a budget sometimes you just need to get a little creative.

I would love for you to try both fudge recipes and let me know what version is your favorite.

  1. I am soooooo excited to have found this recipe! I love fudge, and I have never made cinnamon apple fudge. Yummy! Your site is gorgeous and filled with so many delicious recipes. I am glad that I found you!

    1. Nutmeg can be pretty powerful so if you use it instead of cinnamon I would just use a sprinkle and taste the batter to see how you like it. You can always add more but not remove. Enjoy!
