    Toffee Apple Dip is a quick and easy recipe for any party or just as a fun snack. Decadent cream cheese whipped with brown sugar and vanilla, then swirled with mini chocolate chips, crunchy toffee bits, and a little caramel for the ultimate fruit dip.

    • Apple Dip with Toffee and Chocolate
    • 💬 Comments

    Party food should be simple to make, but still totally yummy.  This toffee apple dip fits the bill perfectly.  It's sweet and creamy and totally irresistible! Of course, this isn't only for parties. It makes a great snack any day of the week.

    You can prepare the dip ahead of time. Just cover it and place it in the refrigerator. It is best served within 24 hours. If you don't have cream cheese on hand, try my Peanut Butter Caramel Dip instead!

    I have a weakness for toffee. There's something so irresistible about sweet crunchy toffee that melts in your mouth.

    I always have cream cheese in the fridge because it is just so versatile.

    🧂 Ingredients

    This is meant to be a brief overview of the easy toffee apple dip recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    • cream cheese - I use regular but you can use reduced or fat-free if you prefer.
    • light brown sugar
    • vanilla extract
    • ground cinnamon
    • toffee bits
    • mini chocolate chips (optional)
    • store-bought or homemade caramel sauce

    This is meant to be a brief overview of this great recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with measurements, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cinnamon, and brown sugar. 
    2. Use a hand-held electric mixer to combine.
    3. Add in the vanilla extract, then the toffee bits and mini chocolate chips.
    4. Stir until combined using a spoonula or rubber spatula.
    5. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with apples for dipping.

    How do I keep apples from turning brown?

    My kids never want to eat brown apple slices. To keep this from happening, place the apple slices in a resealable plastic bag. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bag. Seal it up and shake to toss the apples with the lemon juice.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    • Crispy apples like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady are great varieties to serve with this dip.
    • Include slices of fresh pear - I like using Asian pears because they are crisper than other varieties.
    • Regular or chocolate graham crackers are perfect for serving with this dip.
    • For a sweet and salty combo, serve with pretzels.

    You can see how it makes a beautiful platter for a potluck or other party, but there are plenty of other good reasons to make this dip.

    For example, it is an awesome way to get kids to eat more fruits! Pack a small two-sided container with a little of the dip on one side, and slices of apples and pears on the other. This also makes a great after-school snack, too!

    By no means am I trying to suggest that this dip falls into the healthy category. It does not. You can choose to use a reduced-fat cream cheese if you like. It's not all bad though - cream cheese does offer a little protein, vitamins A, K, and is a good source of calcium.

    However, I believe in all things in moderation. Since we're serving this cream cheese dip with apples, it balances out, as long as you're not eating gobs of the dip! Keep in mind that one serving of cream cheese is a tablespoon.

    📖 Variations

    The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how our caramel apple dip has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

    • Mix in finely chopped walnuts or pecans.
    • Drizzle with chocolate syrup instead of caramel.
    • Use mascarpone instead of cream cheese

    🍲 Storage

    To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.  (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
