Ingredients
·
1 small cooking apple (approx. 75g/2.6oz)
·
55 g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
·
2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
·
175 g all butter shortbread biscuits, finely
crumbled (I place mine in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin)
·
½ tsp cinnamon
·
100 g white chocolate, melted (I chop my chocolate
into chunks and melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts – stirring in between
each burst).
Chocolate coating:
·
200 g white chocolate, melted
·
¼ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
1. Peel the cooking apple and chop into small chunks (about the size of a
raisin). Place in a pan over a medium heat with 1 tbsp water. Place the lid on
and cook for 3-5 minutes – until the apple has softened, but isn’t mushy. Leave
to cool.
2. Place the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl and mix
together until combined. Stir in the crumbled shortbread and cinnamon, and then
mix in the melted white chocolate and chunks of apple. Cover the bowl with
clingfilm/plastic wrap and place in the fridge for an hour.
3. After an hour, take the mix out of the fridge. Line a plate or tray with
baking parchment. Scoop out heaped teaspoons of the mix, place in your hand and
roll into a ball. Place on the parchment (the mix will be a little sticky, but
should hold its shape). Repeat until all of the mixture is used up. Place back
in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, take the shortbread balls out of the fridge. Dip each
ball in white chocolate. I like to use a narrow bowl for the melted chocolate,
so that I can submerge the shortbread balls. The easiest way to do this is to
place a shortbread ball on a small fork, then dip in the white chocolate and
spoon more white chocolate over the top if necessary until the whole ball is
covered. Lift out the ball and allow any excess chocolate to drip off (you
could use a knife or spoon to ‘scoop’ any excess chocolate from the bottom of
the fork. Gently slide the ball onto a tray lined with baking parchment. Repeat
until all the balls are covered in chocolate.
5. Sprinkle each ball with a pinch of cinnamon and place in the fridge for
30 minutes to set.
Recipe Notes
The
apple pie balls should be served straight from the fridge, but are ok for a
couple of hours out of the fridge.
They should last 2-3 days in the fridge, covered.
