Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Apple Layer

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Additional Layers

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as whipped cream or Cool Whip)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. This mixture will form the flavorful base of your dip, providing a tangy, sweet layer reminiscent of pie filling.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning, then mix in cinnamon and sugar until well coated. This will add a fresh, spiced element to the dip that mimics the apple pie filling perfectly.
  3. Layer the Dip: In a serving dish, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom. Next, add the cinnamon-sugar coated apples in a layer on top.
  4. Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple layer for a rich, buttery sweetness that ties the flavors together beautifully.
  5. Top with Whipped Topping: Finish by spreading the whipped topping over the caramel layer. This adds a light, fluffy texture to balance the denser layers beneath.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Cover the assembled dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  7. Serve: Serve chilled with graham crackers, cinnamon chips, apple slices, or your favorite dippers for a festive, crowd-pleasing appetizer or dessert.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweet layers.
  • Substitute the caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a different flavor twist.
  • For a healthier option, use light cream cheese and low-fat whipped topping.
  • Keep the dip covered in the fridge to prevent the apples from browning excessively.
  • This dip can be prepared up to 8 hours in advance but is best served fresh.
