Why Homemade Caramel Apple Dip is Better

Forget store-bought caramel apple dips. Homemade is the way to go! With simple ingredients and endless customization options, this recipe is a winner. Plus, it only takes 5 minutes to whip up a batch!

The creamy texture of cream cheese combined with the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors make this caramel apple dip a true treat. Whether you’re dipping fruit, cookies, graham crackers, or pretzels, this dip will have everyone coming back for more.

Ingredients Needed

To make this heavenly caramel apple dip, you’ll need:

  • Cream Cheese (8oz)
  • Powdered Sugar (¼ cup)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Heavy Whipping Cream (¾ cup)
  • Caramel Sauce (¾ cup)
  • Skor or Heath Toffee Bits (¼ cup)
  • Flaked Sea Salt (optional, ½ teaspoon)

How to Make Caramel Apple Dip

  1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as necessary.
  2. Add heavy cream and beat on low speed until combined, then switch to high speed and beat until thick and fluffy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture into a baking dish. Alternatively, you can spread it directly onto a serving platter.
  4. Pour caramel sauce over the top and smooth it out with a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle toffee bits and flaked sea salt (if desired) onto the caramel layer.
  6. If you’re not serving immediately, refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling helps the caramel firm up, but it’s not necessary.
  7. Serve with freshly sliced apples and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

  • For the best results, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to ensure perfectly smooth and fluffy dip.
  • Keep apple slices fresh by cutting them just before serving or rinsing them under cold water to prevent browning.
  • The size of your serving dish will determine the thickness of the dip. You can also use individual ramekins for individual servings.
  • Get creative with variations! Add apple pie filling, different toppings, or different extracts for unique flavors.

Serving Suggestions

This caramel apple dip is best enjoyed with fresh apple slices. However, you can also pair it with other fruits like strawberries or grapes. For a dessert experience like no other, create a Dessert Charcuterie Board with wafers, Graham Crackers, cookies, and chocolate!
