Apple Dip

It is Sunday at 4 o'clock, you have company popping by at 4:15 and Monday is your grocery shopping day. You are standing in front of your open fridge containing only condiments, some apples, broccoli and may be some dry baby carrots and only 15 minutes to pull something together. . . enter the apple dip!

This dip is super simple and a huge hit! Whenever I make this it disappears fast! In fact I quite often double the recipe. It can be made a head, but add the Carmel and Skor bits right before you serve the dip to avoid the Carmel being too hard and the Skor being too mushy.

Apple Dip
  • 1 container/block of cream cheese
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup white sugar (if you don't have any brown sugar would work as well)
  • Carmel sauce
  • Skor bits (optional)
* Stir/blend cream cheese until it is soft
* Add in 1/2 cup sugar and blend until well incorporated, taste test. Depending on how 'cream cheesey' you want it to taste you may want to add another 1/4 cup of sugar. Also if your apples are tart you may want the extra sugar, while with sweet apples you may find it unnecessary.
* Spread in platter and top with Carmel sauce. If you don't have Carmel sauce then you could always use honey. Although not quite as decadent it would be good as well.
* Chop up apples right before serving (to avoid browning).

Ta Da! You are sure to please with this dip!
