Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup caramel syrup ice cream topping, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 ounces cool whip
- 4-5 apples
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- ¼ cup sprinkles
- ¼ cup crushed pretzels
- Optional: skewers graham crackers, pretzels, lemon juice
Instructions
- With an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the brown sugar until well blended (about 30 seconds).
- Next, add the vanilla extract and caramel syrup and beat on low speed until combined.
- Stir in the cool whip.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, slice the apples. If desired, add the apples to a mixture of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 cup cold water. Let soak for 5 minutes to help prevent oxidation.
- Crush pretzels by adding them to a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Roll the pin back and forth over the pretzels like you would when rolling out dough.
- Place crushed pretzels, sprinkles, chopped nuts, and mini chocolate chips in small bowls and arrange on your board.
- Add the dip in the center and fill in the empty spaces between the bowls with apple slices.
- Serve with a small bowl of caramel syrup on the side for drizzling. Graham crackers and pretzels are other great options for dipping.
