Ingredients
-
226 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
-
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
-
1 cup diced apples
-
120 ml (½ cup) caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
-
Graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for dipping
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
-
Fold in diced apples and half of the caramel sauce.
-
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top.
-
Serve immediately with graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels for dipping.
Notes
Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best crunch.
For a lighter version, low-fat cream cheese works, but the dip will be less rich.
If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Caramel quality matters—choose a thick sauce so it stays luscious, not watery.
Apples may soften slightly over time, but the flavor becomes more caramel-y.
