How to make caramel apple dip:

First, the Caramel Sauce..

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, salt and heavy whipping cream. Bring to boil and cook stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes or until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Now, the Cream Cheese Mixture.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth.

Add caramel sauce and beat until smooth.

Let’s put everything together in the dish.

Add cream cheese mixture to bowl or jar. Place in refrigerator to chill about 15-20 minutes.

Spoon caramel sauce over cream cheese mixture. Then sprinkle on toffee bits.

Serve immediately. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Tips: 

For easy mixing, you’ll need a hand-held mixer.  I have this KitchenAid hand held mixer and I absolutely love it.

You’ll also need some mixing bowls.  I have these and I love them but any will work that you have on hand.

The entire recipe is so very simple and you don’t need much at all to make this.

Another tip is to use leftover candy. No need to buy the heath toffee in the baking section if you have the toffee candy bars at home.

Just chop that up and use as the topping. We love to use what we have and it helps to keep our grocery budget reasonable.
