This light and fluffy Caramel Apple Dip couldn’t be easier to make using cream cheese, caramel sauce, and whipping cream and it tastes AMAZING!
If your fridge is stocked with apples, you’ve come to the right place! Don’t miss our hugely popular Apple Crisp or my personal favorite Fresh Apple Cake!
Talk about HEAVEN in a bowl, this Caramel Apple Dip tastes amazing and only takes 5 minutes to make! It makes a fun appetizer, treat or casual dessert for any party of potluck.
How to make Caramel Apple Dip:
1. Beat heavy cream: In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
2. Add remaining ingredients: Mix in cinnamon, vanilla, sugar and caramel sauce until combined. With mixer on medium speed add the softened cream cheese and mix well until smooth.
3. Serve as dip for apple slices, pears, marshmallows, graham crackers, waffers, etc.
To make ahead: this dip stays fresh for 5-7 days in the refrigerator so it’s definitely a great one to make ahead of time. I like to let it thaw for a few minutes on the counter before dipping. Cut the apples fresh for serving or toss them in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Variations:
- Low fat: substitute low fat cream cheese and whipping cream.
- Sugar free: simply leave out the added sugar.
- Chocolate apple dip: Swap hot fudge sauce for the caramel sauce.

I think I am the only one rating that has actually made this so far. Sadly, I thought the flavor was lacking. I doubled the cinnamon and caramel and still the flavor of the Red Delicious apple overwhelmed the dip.
Maryalice says
I love this!! So easy and delicious- is there anyway you could make this dairy free and get similar results? I tried with one type of non-dairy cream cheese and the consistency and flavor were off. So you have any recommendations for brands?
Lauren Allen says
Thanks! I have not experimented with dairy free products like that, so I couldn’t say! sorry!

What’s the shelf life?
Lauren Allen says
It will keep for around 2-3 days in the fridge.
Danie says
I made this today for a work potluck. I did use whipped cream cheese and also whipped icing and mixed it instead of adding sugar. My taste tester enjoyed it 🙂
Thanks for the recipe!
