Ingredients
For the Dip:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added spice)
For the Topping:
1/2 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)
1 apple, sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
Chopped nuts (optional, like pecans or walnuts for crunch)
Crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Dip: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth. Stir in the caramel sauce and ground cinnamon (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness with more caramel sauce or powdered sugar, if desired.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the cheesecake dip into a serving bowl and spread it evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top for an extra sweet touch. If you’d like, sprinkle with chopped nuts or graham cracker crumbs for texture.
- Serve: Arrange the sliced apple wedges around the dip for dipping. You can also serve the dip with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for an extra crunchy option.
Notes
Add a little bit of toffee bits for extra crunch and flavor.
Mix in some chopped caramelized apples or roasted pecans for a richer topping.
Use a different fruit like pears or even sliced strawberries for dipping.
