With the arrival of fall comes apple season! These Apple Core Chocolate Covered Oreos are a fun way to jazz up an Oreo cookie. They are an easy treat to make for parties and special events.

These Apple Core Chocolate Covered Oreos are a fun way to jazz up an Oreo cookie. They are an easy recipe to make for parties and special events this fall.

I might be addicted to making treats with Oreos. They are so easy to do – no baking required. And with a little bit of icing, you can make cute designs for every holiday. These Apple Core Oreos are perfect for fall gatherings, back-to-school snacks, or harvest parties.

Apple Core Chocolate Covered Oreos Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 12 Double Stuf Oreos
  • 1 tablespoon solid shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups Wilton red chocolate candy melts
  • 1 white cookie icing pouch
  • 1 black decorator icing tube
  • 6  caramels, unwrapped
  • 6 green M&M’s (I used mint flavored because the green is darker in color and the pieces are larger but regular ones would work as well.)

Supplies Needed:

  • 2 Oreo cookie molds
Apple Core Oreos- ingredients

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Melt the shortening in a double boiler. Add the red chocolate melts and stir occasionally until melted. Once melted, you might find it easier to transfer the melted chocolate into a smaller bowl to make it easier to handle.
3.   Add 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate to each mold.
4.   Place an Oreo cookie on top of the melted chocolate.Apple Core Oreos- cover Oreos in chocolate
5.   Cover each cookie by spooning additional chocolate on top.
6.  Chill for one hour.
7.   Once chilled, pop the cookies out of their mold and place on the baking sheet.
8.   Cut each caramel piece in half and bend slightly like an apple stem.
9.   Cover one end of each caramel stem with cookie icing and place on the top of each “apple”. Hold in place for 10 seconds and place back on cookie sheet for 10 minutes to harden.Apple Core Oreos- apply icing to caramel stem
10.  Cut each M&M candy in half. Apply cookie icing to the bottom of each piece and place on top of each “apple” to the right of each stem. Hold in place for 10 seconds and then gently place back on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes to harden.
11.   Squeeze cookie icing onto the front of each cookie to resemble the inside of an apple. Be sure to leave a small red border along the diameter. Apple Core Oreos- use icing to fill in core
12.   Using the black gel tube, pipe 3-4 apple seeds on top of the white cookie icing.
Use black gel to add the seeds to the cookies.
13. Let them sit until the icing hardens.

    Oh my goodness, these are so adorable! Of course, I would have to hide the Oreos in order to do this, since my kids LOVE them 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.

    I have seen this post on a couple of link ups – the red in the apples pops out among all the other posts. This looks so easy to make and very delicious.
    Best,

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
