Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons homemade or store-bought caramel sauce, divided, plus more for topping
- 2 Granny Smith apples, diced
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Sliced apples, pretzels or graham crackers, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium sauté pan set over medium heat, combine the diced apples with 3 tablespoons caramel. Cook, stirring, until the apples have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl to cool completely while you make the dip.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, remaining 1 tablespoon caramel sauce and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in 3/4 of the cooled, sautéed apples.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl then top with the remaining sautéed apples and additional caramel sauce. Serve with sliced apples, pretzels or graham crackers for dipping.
Notes
- If you don’t own a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer to bring together the dip. Either will get it light and fluffy!
- To dice apples, first cut thin, vertical slices from the apples. Stack these slices and cut the apples into long rectangles, then cut these rectangles crosswise to achieve a dice.
