Salted Caramel Apple Pie Dip Recipe
Everything you love about warm, gooey apple pie — turned into a creamy, dreamy dip! This Salted Caramel Apple Pie Dip combines tender cinnamon apples, rich caramel sauce, and a touch of sea salt for the ultimate cozy, shareable fall treat.
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work best)
- 2 tablespoons butter use coconut oil for a dairy-free option
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free version
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional for extra warmth
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade; use dairy-free caramel for vegan
- Pinch of sea salt for topping
- 4 oz cream cheese softened (substitute dairy-free cream cheese if needed)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or whipped topping adds creaminess and balance
- Optional Garnishes:
- Extra drizzle of caramel
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Whipped cream or sea salt flakes on top
Instructions
- Cook the Apples:
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, fragrant, and caramelized.
- Prepare the Base:
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt (or whipped topping) until smooth and creamy. This forms your cheesecake-like base.
- Layer the Dip:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of a shallow dish or pie plate. Spoon the warm apple mixture evenly over the top.
- Add the Caramel:
- Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for that perfect sweet-and-salty finish.
- Serve Warm (or Chill):
- Serve immediately while warm and gooey, or chill for 30 minutes if you prefer a thicker, creamier texture.
- Cooking Tip: If your caramel sauce thickens too much, warm it for 10–15 seconds in the microwave before drizzling.
