Ingredients
  

For the cream cheese dip
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce
  • 0.25 cup peanuts chopped
For serving
  • 4 apples medium, cored and cut into slices

Equipment

  • 1 hand mixer

Method
 

Make the dip
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the topping
  1. Spread the cream cheese mixture in a shallow serving bowl.
  2. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Sprinkle with the peanuts.
Serve
  1. Arrange the apple slices around the dip.
  2. Serve.

Notes

For the smoothest dip, let the cream cheese soften before beating. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the texture may change. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free caramel sauce.
