Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

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

Topping

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

Serving

  • Apples, sliced fresh

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and evenly mixed.
  2. Heat the caramel dip: Warm the caramel dip in the microwave using 15-second intervals until it reaches a pourable consistency, stirring between intervals to prevent burning.
  3. Assemble the dip layers: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly at the bottom of a serving dish to form the base layer.
  4. Add the caramel layer: Pour the warmed caramel sauce over the cream cheese base and spread it uniformly to cover the surface.
  5. Top with crunch: Sprinkle the toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and chopped walnuts evenly over the caramel layer.
  6. Serve: Arrange fresh apple slices around the dip or on a separate platter. Dip the apples into the layered cream cheese caramel dip and enjoy the sweet and crunchy treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best dipping experience.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and walnuts or substitute with seeds.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • The caramel dip can also be warmed gently on the stovetop over low heat if preferred.
  • Store any leftover dip covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
