Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) caramel sauce
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves
  • Optional: chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice 2 medium apples into small, even pieces. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  2. Let 8 ounces (225 g) of cream cheese sit at room temperature until soft but not melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold the cinnamon-lemon coated apples into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  6. Warm 1/2 cup (120 ml) caramel sauce slightly if it’s too thick to drizzle.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of caramel on top of the dip, then use a butter knife or skewer to swirl it gently through the mixture.
  8. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least one hour before serving.
  9. Just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of extra cinnamon, nutmeg, or chopped pecans on top if desired.

Notes

Use thick caramel sauce to avoid soggy dip. Soften cream cheese well for smooth texture. Toss apples in lemon juice to prevent browning. Chill dip at least 1 hour for best flavor and texture. Let sit 10 minutes at room temperature before serving if too firm. Optional toppings include nutmeg, cloves, or chopped pecans. Can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or use dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version.
