Ingredients
Scale
- 8-ounce block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 3–4 apples, sliced
- Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts (like pecans), extra caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.

- Gently fold in caramel sauce, leaving streaks for a marbled effect or mix until fully combined for a uniform look.
- Core and slice apples into wedges. Toss them in a mixture of water and lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Garnish with crushed graham crackers, chopped pecans, or extra caramel drizzle if desired.
- Arrange apple slices around the dish and serve immediately.
