Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese block, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup caramel dip
- 2 tbsp toffee bits
- 1 tbsp peanuts, chopped
- 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped
Serving
- Apples, sliced fresh for dipping
Instructions
- 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 these ingredients evenly until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the caramel: Heat the caramel dip in the microwave in 15-second intervals until it reaches a pourable consistency, stirring in between intervals to prevent burning.
- Layer the dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a serving dish to create the first layer.
- Add the caramel: Pour the warmed caramel over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly to cover the surface.
- Top with nuts and toffee: Sprinkle the toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and chopped walnuts evenly over the caramel layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Serve with apples: Arrange fresh apple slices around the dip or on a separate plate. Dip the apples into the layered cream cheese and caramel dip and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best dipping experience.
- To keep the dip fresh, cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute walnuts and peanuts with your favorite nuts or omit nuts entirely to suit dietary preferences.
- If you prefer, homemade caramel sauce can be used in place of store-bought caramel dip.
- Softened cream cheese is easier to blend smoothly; leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.
