Ingredients
Scale
Dip Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Caramel Layer and Toppings
- 1 cup thick caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For Serving
- Sliced apples
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until well combined and fluffy.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish, creating an even layer.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Pour the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer and gently spread it to cover evenly without mixing the layers.
- Top with Toffee and Pecans: Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the caramel layer. Add the chopped pecans if desired for extra crunch and flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dip for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the layers to set slightly and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve chilled alongside fresh sliced apples for dipping.
Notes
- Granny Smith apples work especially well because their tart flavor balances the sweetness of the caramel dip.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- You can drizzle extra caramel on top just before serving for a richer flavor.
