- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For Serving
- Fresh apple slices for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sugars and Vanilla: Mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish or bowl, creating a flat surface for toppings.
- Top with Caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer, creating a sweet, glossy topping.
- Add Pecans (Optional): Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel layer for added crunch and flavor, if desired.
- Serve: Arrange fresh apple slices around the dip or serve on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for a smoother dip.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute with toasted coconut flakes.
- Caramel sauce can be store-bought or homemade.
- Best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Try different apple varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji for varying sweetness and tartness.
