Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
- 2–3 medium apples, sliced
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or microwave in 10-second bursts until pliable.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 30-45 seconds. Alternatively, stir vigorously with a spoon until no lumps remain.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish, creating a smooth layer about 1/2 inch thick.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer in a zigzag pattern.
- Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the caramel.
- Just before serving, core and slice the apples into wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with lemon juice if not serving immediately to prevent browning.
- Arrange the apple slices around the dip on a platter or serve on the side. Serve immediately at room temperature.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. If the dip seems too thick after mixing, add a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream and beat again. The cream cheese base can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; add caramel, toffee, and apples just before serving. For a gluten-free version, ensure toffee bits are certified gluten-free.
