CARAMEL APPLE DIP INGREDIENTS
You’ll need:
- 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
- 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip
- 11.5-ounce jar of salted caramel sauce, divided
- ½ cup of classic white baking chips, divided
- ¼ cup of toffee bits
- 4 or 5 Golden Delicious apples
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!
HOW TO MAKE THIS CARAMEL APPLE DIP RECIPE
PRO TIP
This can be made ahead of time. Just leave off the salted caramel and toffee bit topping until ready to serve.
STEP ONE: In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and half of the jar of salted caramel sauce. Beat with a hand mixer for one to two minutes.
PRO TIP
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your dip.
STEP TWO: Fold in the Cool Whip and most of the white baking chips, leaving two tablespoons of baking chips for the topping. Mix until just combined.
STEP THREE: Transfer to a serving dish or pie plate. Top with remaining salted caramel sauce, the remaining white baking chips and the toffee bits.
STEP FOUR: Slice the apples into thin wedges and place them around the serving bowl. Serve.
PRO TIP
If you need to slice your apples ahead of time, submerge them in a bowl of water with a few tablespoons of honey to prevent them from going brown.
HOW TO SERVE
