Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
For Serving
- Sliced apples For serving
- Optional: chopped nuts or whipped cream For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold in the caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to overmix to keep the caramel swirled throughout.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
- Serve immediately with sliced apples, or refrigerate for an hour if you prefer it chilled.
Notes
Make it ahead by storing in the refrigerator and stirring before serving. Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best taste. For variations, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
