Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 3 medium green apples
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, caramel topping and vanilla. Beat with an electric hand-mixer until smooth. Add the 1 cup marshmallow fluff and beat on low speed until combined.
Cut apples into slices. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and water. Toss apple slices into the lemon juice mixture. (This will prevent apples from turning brown quickly). Drain.
Serve by dipping apple slices into the dip. Enjoy!
Servings
Serves 4.
Storage
Store the caramel apple dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the apple slices separate in a container with a little lemon juice and water to prevent browning, and drain before serving. This dip is best served chilled and does not require reheating. If you prefer a softer texture, you can let the dip sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing.
Holly’s Tips for the Best Fall Caramel Apple Dip:
- Use Fresh Produce: Use the freshest produce available near you. This recipe calls for crisp, tart green apples like Granny Smith to balance out the sweetness of the caramel dip.
- Use Softened Cream Cheese: For a smooth, creamy base that blends easily with the other ingredients.
- Beat The Mixture Well: Use a hand mixer to ensure the caramel, brown sugar, and marshmallow fluff are fully combined and silky.
- Drain Apple Slices: Be sure to drain the apple slices well before serving to avoid a watery dip and soggy fruit.
- Serve Chilled: For the best creamy texture, serve it chilled. Let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature if you prefer a softer dip.
Frequently Asked Questions:
