Homemade Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip
A creamy and sweet dip that tastes just like a caramel apple in cheesecake form.
recipesbynani.comThis dip is such a crowd pleaser for autumn gatherings or when you just want a special treat. It combines the tangy sweetness of cheesecake with the rich flavor of caramel for the ultimate dessert snack.
My favorite thing to do is serve this with crisp, tart apples right after a trip to the orchard. It stays nice and creamy if you let the cream cheese soften properly before you start mixing it up.
🧺 Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup thick caramel sauce
- 3 to 4 crisp apples, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To keep your apple slices from browning, toss them in a little bit of lemon juice before serving.
