Ingredients
  

  • 36 regular Oreo cookies.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened.
  • 12 ounces red candy melts or red melting chocolate.
  • 18 mini pretzel sticks broken in half.
  • Green candy melts green M&M’s, or green fondant for the leaves.
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil optional.

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Add the softened cream cheese and mix until a thick dough forms.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball.
  • Gently flatten the top and bottom of each ball to create an apple shape. Press a small indentation into the top.
  • Place the shaped Oreo balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Add shortening or coconut oil if the coating is too thick.
  • Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted red candy coating. Use a fork to remove it and let the excess coating drip back into the bowl.
  • Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment paper.
  • Insert half of a mini pretzel stick into the top of each apple to create the stem.
  • Add a small green candy, green fondant leaf, or green icing decoration beside each pretzel stem.
  • Allow the coating to set completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store the Apple Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
  • Freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
  • Use regular Oreo cookies rather than Double Stuf for a firmer mixture.
  • Keep the Oreo balls chilled while dipping to help them maintain their shape.
