Quick Caramel Apple Fudge

Chop the dried apples into small 1/4 inch pieces and set aside. Place the dulce de leche, white chocolate chips, butter, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring vigorously in between, until the mixture is totally smooth. This will take 3 –6 minutes. Once the liquid fudge is smooth, stir in the chopped dried apples. Place a piece of wax paper in an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Pour the fudge in the dish and spread evenly with a spatula. Place the fudge in the refrigerator to cool and set for at least 2 hours. Once the fudge is firm enough to cut, lift it out of the baking dish by the edges of the wax paper and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
