Method
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until everything is smooth and evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, caramel sauce, and toffee bits, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken.
- Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle with more toffee bits, if desired. Serve with graham crackers, apple slices, ginger snaps, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
For the best flavor, use high-quality caramel sauce or make your own. Softened cream cheese is crucial for a smooth dip. Don't overmix the ingredients to prevent a watery consistency. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a warmer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. To prevent apples from browning, toss with lemon juice and add them shortly before serving.
