Ingredients

Scale

Base Dip

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

Toppings

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

Accompaniment

  • 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 evenly until smooth and creamy.
  2. Heat the Caramel Dip: Place the caramel dip in a microwave-safe container and heat it in 15-second intervals until it reaches a pourable consistency. Stir between intervals to ensure even heating.
  3. Layer the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a serving dish to form the base layer.
  4. Add the Caramel Layer: Pour the warmed caramel over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly to cover the surface.
  5. Top with Crunchy Bits: Sprinkle the toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and walnuts evenly on top of the caramel layer to add texture and flavor.
  6. Serve with Apples: Arrange fresh apple slices around the dip. Use the apple slices to scoop up the creamy caramel apple dip and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best dipping experience.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and a smooth dip texture.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and walnuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Caramel dip can be store-bought or homemade; warming it makes it easier to pour and spread.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to maintain the best texture of the dip and toppings.
