Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 23 crisp apples, sliced for dipping
  • Optional for serving: graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or shortbread cookies

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for 30 minutes or microwaving in 10-second bursts.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides.
  3. Sift in the powdered sugar and add the vanilla extract. Beat on low until incorporated, then increase to medium and beat for 30 seconds until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of the caramel sauce and beat on low until just combined, leaving caramel ribbons.
  5. Gently fold in 1/3 cup of the toffee bits with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle in the flaky sea salt and fold once more.
  7. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and spread into an even layer.
  8. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the reserved toffee bits and an extra pinch of salt.
  9. Chill for 30 minutes or serve immediately. Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  10. Slice apples right before serving and arrange around the dip with other dippers.

Notes

Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth dip. Don’t skip the flaky sea salt—it balances the sweetness. For extra crunch, toast the toffee bits in a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes. The dip can be made up to 24 hours ahead; add apple slices just before serving.
