A decadent and easy-to-make Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip featuring a creamy base layered with rich caramel and crunchy toffee bits, perfect for serving with fresh apple slices as a delightful snack or party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits

Serving

  • Apple slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Spread the base: Transfer the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of a small rimmed serving platter, spreading it evenly to form the dip foundation.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the platter with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dip and enhance the flavors.
  4. Add toppings: Once chilled, evenly spread the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle the toffee bits on top to add a crunchy and sweet contrast.
  5. Serve: Arrange fresh apple slices around the dip and serve immediately for dipping, or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For easier spreading, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade caramel or dulce de leche for a richer flavor.
  • Try different apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best quality.
  • To make this dip vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and caramel substitutes.
