Caramel Apple Dip

I love caramel apples, don’t you? What I don’t love is having to bite into it, so I usually end up cutting the apple into slices so I don’t make a huge mess.

This recipe makes it so much easier to enjoy this delicious treat.

I used toffee bits in this recipe, but you can also use miniature chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even crushed jolly rancher candies.  The possibilities are endless to how versatile you can make this.

Give this recipe a try.  I know you love it! 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (you can use ice cream topping), plus more for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • Sliced apples (I like Rome apples for this)

Directions:

Place the cream cheese into a small mixing bowl.  Using a hand mixer, mix until creamy.  Add the 1/4 cup of caramel sauce and brown sugar to the bowl; mix until you don’t see any large lumps of brown sugar.  Next, mix in the marshmallow cream.  Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Place the dip into a serving dish.  Sprinkle toffee bits or your favorite caramel apple topping all over the top.  Drizzle with more caramel sauce (as much as you like).

Serve with sliced apples and ENJOY!

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 6 small apples
  • 1 bag (14 ounces) individually wrapped caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream or coconut milk)
  • 6 popsicle sticks
  • Parchment paper
Instructions
  1. Rinse the apples; dry them completely (or else the caramel sauce won't stick to them). Insert a popsicle stick into each apple.
  2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Place the unwrapped caramels and milk into a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the caramels melt. Let the caramel sauce cool for about 2 minutes before dipping the apples.
  4. Holding the popsicle stick, dip the apple into the caramel sauce, covering it almost completely. Let the excess caramel sauce drip into the pan then place onto the parchment paper to set. If adding additional toppings, do so immediately after dipping the apples into the caramel sauce then place onto the parchment paper.
ENJOY!
