Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip

This Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip is the ideal appetizer, dessert, or snack! The perfect dessert dip is made with cream cheese, caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and toffee bits. This delicious dip, which has a layer of creamy cream cheese, a layer of sweet caramel sauce in the middle, and a crunchy toffee and nut topping, is always a big hit!

INGREDIENTS

  • 180 g cream cheese softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cup caramel sauce thick store-bought caramel dip
  • 2 tablespoon toffee bits for topping
  • ½ cup chopped pecans, peanuts or walnuts or more toffee bits
  • 4-5 Apples for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a dish, mix together the vanilla, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, blend on medium speed until mixed.
  • To make spreading easier, warm the caramel sauce in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.
  • In a shallow bowl, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly.
  • Cover the cream cheese mixture with the caramel sauce. To ensure that all of the cream cheese is covered, spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with the toffee bits and chopped nuts (pecans, peanuts or walnuts), and drizzle with a little more caramel if desired.
  • Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, ginger snaps, and freshly cut apples. Have fun!

NOTES

  • To prevent the apples from browning, cut them just before serving. Or place them in a bag with a small amount of lemon juice!
  • You'll save a ton of work if you let the cream cheese come to room temperature before combining!
  • Warm up the caramel. To make spreading easier, I like to microwave thicker caramel for 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Simply smash Heath or Skor candy bars in a food processor or cut them into little pieces with a knife if you are unable to locate toffee bits.
  • Chill time: This dip tastes fantastic immediately but will get even thicker as it cools. If you have time, I suggest at least an hour.
  • Make ahead: Cover the dip without the toppings and chill for up to 24 hours. Add the toffee bits and nuts just before serving.
  • Storing: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
