Any apple is great for dipping. I love Honeycrisp, but Braeburn, Pink Lady, or Gala are also delicious. For a tart pairing, opt for Granny Smith!
Yes, this dip needs to be refrigerated. You can leave it out at room temperature for up to 2 hours without issue, though.
If properly stored, this dip will last for up to 5 days.
How to Store
This caramel apple dip should stay fresh for 3-5 days when properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s great that it lasts a few days, but I always prefer it on the first day or two after making it. So delish!
Serving Suggestions
I made this creamy caramel dip with apples in mind, so of course I recommend serving this with apple slices (green or red, whichever you prefer!). But there are plenty of other uses for this recipe.
Try this dip with pretzels, spread it lightly on toast for a special breakfast treat, mix it into a bowl of ice cream, or try it with other fruits (bananas, berries, or pears).
It would be amazing as a caramel fondue and you can dip to your heart’s desire! Cube other goodies, like cheesecake, brownies, or pound cake, and dip in the caramel sauce for a delicious treat!
5-Star Review
“Bliss. Pure, sheer, utter bliss. Cannot wait to cover everything in this major deliciousness!” – Karly
Can Smuckers Caramel Topping be used, or do you recommend a thicker sauce?
Thank you
That should work just fine. Everything is blended together, and the cream cheese provides most of the texture/consistency.
Very yummy, for my family I went full flavor and full fat, and I didn’t have cool Whip so I made up my own using 1/2 cup of cream with a splash of vanilla. I also chopped my white chocolate coarsely and my husband and boys couldn’t get enough.
Omg that sounds super yummy!! I’m glad you loved it so much!
I was very interested until I saw the number of artificial ingredients and artificial sugars. it may be low CAL but definitely not healthy .
Hi Laura, it’s just meant to be a lightened up version of traditional caramel apple dip. Hope you have a great weekend!
For the caramel apple dip , you have calories per serving , you just don’t have how much is a serving.
Bliss. Pure, sheer, utter bliss. Cannot wait to cover everything in this major deliciousness!
Believe me, this plunge is madly great!! It’s additionally one of those treats you can convey to gatherings and Fall celebrations and not feel remorseful backpedalling for another chomp. The best part? It meets up in only five minutes.
Look so delicious, I like caramel bean.
If I make this the night before serving it will the texture be off? I am excited to try the recipe but am looking for any way to save myself time the day I’m hosting! Thanks!
I have never tried it in advance but I think it would be fine. Just stir it up quickly before serving. Not 100% sure but 99% sure :)
How many ww points with the chips included would it be a serving? Thank you!!!!! :)
Love to see NEW RECIPES to make for my husband and family…. ?
So glad to have you stop by Frances!
