Description

This Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip is a luscious and easy-to-make dessert dip perfect for parties or a sweet snack. Cream cheese is whipped with powdered sugar and vanilla, then layered with rich caramel and topped with crunchy toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and walnuts.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese block, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings and Layer

  • 2/3 cup caramel dip
  • 2 tbsp toffee bits
  • 1 tbsp peanuts, chopped
  • 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped

To Serve

  • Apples, fresh and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Heat the Caramel: Warm up the caramel dip in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches a pourable consistency without becoming too hot.
  3. Layer the Dip Base: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a serving dish, creating a smooth layer.
  4. Add the Caramel Layer: Pour the warmed caramel over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and chopped walnuts evenly over the caramel layer for a crunchy and flavorful finish.
  6. Serve with Apples: Arrange fresh apple slices around the serving dish or on a separate platter. Dip the apples into the layered dip and enjoy this sweet and creamy treat immediately.

Notes

  • Use firm apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best dipping experience.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the walnuts and peanuts before chopping and adding.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • You can substitute caramel dip with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and walnuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
