Base Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit and Toppings
- 2 Granny Smith apples, washed and diced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Soften and Mix the Base: Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for smooth mixing. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dice the Granny Smith apples into small, even pieces to ensure a refreshing crunch in every bite.
- Fold Apples and Caramel: Gently fold the diced apples into the cheesecake mixture. Then swirl in the caramel sauce to create a marbled effect with rich, buttery sweetness blending with the fresh apples.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and to thicken the dip to the ideal consistency for dipping.
Notes
- Always soften cream cheese fully to avoid lumps and ensure smooth mixing.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
- Choose a rich, buttery caramel sauce for optimal taste.
- Fold apples in just before serving to keep them crisp and fresh.
- Chill the dip thoroughly to improve flavor melding and texture.
