Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips optional
- Graham crackers or apple slices for serving and dipping
Instructions
- Start by placing your 8 oz of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue mixing until everything is fully combined and the mixture looks light and creamy.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of rich caramel sauce. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture, reserving a little caramel for drizzling on top later if desired.
- Fold in the 1/2 cup chopped apples, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. These add texture and that unmistakable fall flavor.
- If you’re feeling decadent, fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for a melty chocolate surprise in every bite.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled with graham crackers or crisp apple slices for dipping.
