Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), sliced
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or toffee bits
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature or microwaving for 10 seconds.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Drizzle in the caramel sauce (about 1/2 cup) and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Optionally, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with toppings like crushed nuts or chocolate chips.
- Slice apples into thin wedges and arrange them around the dip for presentation.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if refrigerated.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality caramel sauce and soften the cream cheese before mixing. Toss apple slices in lemon juice to prevent browning. Customize toppings with crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or flaky sea salt for added flavor.
