Instructions

Insert a stick into the top of each apple and set them on a parchment-lined tray.
Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries and cookies separately in a food processor until coarsely crushed.
Combine the crushed strawberries and cookies in a bowl with melted butter and vanilla extract. Spread the mixture onto a plate.
Melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package directions, stirring until smooth.
Dip each apple into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
Immediately roll or gently press the apples into the strawberry shortcake crumble, coating all sides.
Place the coated apples back on the parchment paper and let them set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

Notes

Ensure apples are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.

Chilling apples for 10–15 minutes before dipping improves chocolate coating.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for easier biting.

Use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version.

Try different freeze-dried fruits like raspberries or blueberries for variation.
