Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits

For Serving

  • 2 medium-sized apples, sliced
  • Lemon juice (optional, for apple slices)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer or spoon to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Spread the Base: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture onto a serving plate or shallow dish, creating a flat and uniform layer for the toppings.
  3. Add Caramel Sauce: Pour the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer. Using a spatula, gently spread the caramel to cover the entire surface evenly, taking care not to mix it into the cream cheese.
  4. Sprinkle Pecans: Evenly distribute the chopped pecans over the caramel layer, adding a crunchy texture to the dip.
  5. Add Toffee Bits: Sprinkle the toffee bits on top of the pecans, ensuring an even spread to enhance sweetness and crunch.
  6. Prepare Apple Slices: If desired, toss the sliced apples in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain their fresh appearance and taste.
  7. Arrange for Serving: Arrange the apple slices around the prepared dip on the serving dish, making it easy for guests to dip and enjoy.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe but firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • Lemon juice helps prevent apple slices from browning if not served immediately.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead; keep refrigerated until serving.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and toffee bits or substitute with seeds.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
