Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4–5 crisp apples, sliced
- Optional: graham crackers, pretzels, or vanilla wafers for dipping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- If using store-bought caramel sauce, heat it in a small saucepan over low heat with the heavy cream. Stir until well combined and slightly runny. If making homemade caramel, follow your preferred recipe and add the heavy cream to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in your serving dish, creating a smooth base. Pour the warm caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently with a spoon or spatula.
- Add optional toppings like a sprinkle of sea salt, crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
- Using a sharp knife, slice your apples into thin wedges. To prevent browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before arranging them on a platter.
- Place the caramel apple cheesecake dip in the center of your platter and surround it with apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels, or any dippers of your choice.
