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 or potluck.
How to make Caramel Apple Dip:
1. Beat cream cheese in a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, until smooth. Add the heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
2. Add cinnamon, vanilla, sugar and caramel sauce until combined.
3. Serve as dip for apple slices, pears, marshmallows, graham crackers, waffers, etc.
To make ahead: apple dip stays fresh for 5-7 days in the refrigerator. 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.

So this was really good, family really enjoyed it.
Did anyone else have trouble with chunks of cream cheese in the final product? I’m guessing my cream cheese wasn’t softened enough. But maybe I also should have used a paddle instead of whisk attachment on my mixer? Suggestions?
Yes, make sure the cream cheese is completely at room temperature and beat it until smooth, before proceeding with the recipe.
This Carmel Apple Dip was a huge hit for the super bowl. Everyone asked for the recipe and I was more than happy to share. Easy directions to follow and tasted just like it sounds not too sweet but satisfying used red and green apples, pears, tangerines a whole array of fruit and sweet baked goods. Great yes of my imagination on what to use for dipping. Try this recipe and let your imagination go wild.
LOVE this dip! Perfect fall treat – so easy and delicious!

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!
What’s the shelf life?
It will keep for around 2-3 days in the fridge.
I have made this several times now for different occasions and it is always a hit. I took it to a family party over the weekend and everyone loved it!
I’ve made this dip several times now and everyone always loves it! Thank you!
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?
Thanks! I have not experimented with dairy free products like that, so I couldn’t say! sorry!
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.
Thanks, this recipe is perfect from r my bridge die party, can it be made the
Thank you,
Marilyn
Okay, I’m 100% obsessing over this. I’d eat anything dipped in this stuff! Cannot wait to try it out.
