Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

COOL WHIP: If Cool Whip isn’t available where you live, you could use a cup of Greek yogurt in a pinch. Or you can use homemade whipped cream.

SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE: Regular caramel sauce or caramel dip would also work great for this recipe.

WHITE BAKING CHIPS: You could substitute these with regular chocolate chips if needed.

TOFFEE BITS: Also known as Heath bits or Skor bits, you could substitute these with butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips, or a little bit of both, on top of the caramel.

GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES: Any other variety of fresh apples can be used for this recipe.

Granny Smith apples are nice tart apples and would be a great option to balance the sweetness. You could even alternate slices of red and green apples.

THINGS TO DIP: You don’t only need to serve sliced apples with the best caramel dip; we also like to dip other kinds of fruit, pretzels, graham crackers, breadsticks, biscotti, and cookies!
