Though we call this caramel apple dip, technically it&#8217;s a toffee apple dip because it&#8217;s flavored with toffee or brickle bits instead of caramel! It has the crunch of a candy apple and the decadence of a caramel-dipped one, all bound up in a creamy vanilla base and without the sticky mess. It&#8217;s a lovely seasonal addition to a game day spread, an autumn picnic or a pumpkin carving party. Packed in a little container with apple wedges on the side, it&#8217;s an easy way to make back-to-school packed lunches feel more special.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2043928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Caramel-Apple-Dip_TOHD24_14071_AlejandroMonfort_11.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Caramel Apple Dip\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> Tangy and rich cream cheese acts as the base for caramel apple dip.

The toffee chips begin to soften once they&#8217;re mixed with the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, so as the mixture sits it becomes more integrated and less like crispy toffee bits in a creamy base.

The baking chips won&#8217;t have quite the right texture in the finished dip.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What are the best apples to serve with caramel dip?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This caramel apple dip is quite sweet, so it benefits from being paired with tart apples to balance its flavor. Look for firm, crunchy apples with pronounced tart flavor. Granny Smiths are a reliable option, as are Pink Ladies. Braeburn, Empire and Cortland apples would all be tasty options, too.
