Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by washing the apples thoroughly to remove any residue. Core and slice them into bite-sized wedges, aiming for about eight slices per apple. To keep them vibrant and prevent browning, place the apple slices in a bowl filled with cold water mixed with lemon juice. Let them soak while you prepare the dip.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the cream cheese becomes smooth and creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually sprinkle in 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing at low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Continue blending until the sugar is thoroughly incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Next, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese and sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of caramel sauce, using a spatula to weave it into the cream cheese mixture until well-blended.
  6. For an even firmer consistency, transfer the dip into an airtight container and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
  7. When ready to serve, transfer the Caramel Apple Dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle the reserved caramel sauce generously over the top.
  8. Present your dip alongside the prepared apple wedges, inviting everyone to dip and enjoy.

Notes

Keep cream cheese at room temperature for smoother blending. Use high-quality caramel sauce for richer flavor. Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best contrast.
