This Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip takes only minutes to make, can be made ahead, and is a super tasty seasonal dessert for fall!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s recipe was originally intended for our camping blog - 2 Nerds in a Truck<\/a> - as it\u2019s a recipe we MOST often make while on the road, in the RV.<\/p>\n

Personally, I think its appeal should go much further than camping spaces, and really - now that the main camping season is over, we\u2019ll be making it at home more often than not.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this recipe was inspired by my Maple Caramel Apples<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m just a big stereotype, but I\u2019ll put maple syrup in or on pretty much anything, and I *especially* love it with apples.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re right in the height of apple season at the moment, and my favourite - Mutsu apples - are absolutely FABULOUS with this easy caramel apple dip. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a layered dip - a sweet, creamy, maple syrup \u201ccheesecake\u201d layer, topped with caramel sauce and Skor Bars... or whatever else you prefer. <\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s the kind of thing that you can whip up as a fun movie night snack, an easy weeknight dessert, or even as an addition to your Thanksgiving dinner spread.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very versatile that way - and everyone is sure to love it!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

As a note on servings: I\u2019m only calling it 8 servings because that\u2019s what everyone else doing a similar recipe \/ volume is calling it. That being the case, I don\u2019t want my nutritional info to look terrible compared to everyone else!<\/p>\n

Realistically, I would call this a 4 serving recipe on its own - 8 if served with other dessert options.<\/p>\n

As my husband says... \u201c8 servings? Maybe if they\u2019re QUITTERS!\u201d.<\/p>\n

LOL - anyway, let\u2019s look at what you\u2019ll need to put on a batch of this Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip, yourself!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses super basic ingredients - you won\u2019t have any trouble finding everything you need, in pretty much any grocery store.<\/p>\n

We actually originally designed this apple dip recipe while on a camping trip, and made it a few times - so we wanted ingredients we knew we\u2019d be able to find even in small town, very rural grocery stores.<\/p>\n

As usual, I have a few ingredient notes for you:<\/p>\n

Cream Cheese<\/h4>\n

I use a brick of basic cream cheese, which I soften in the microwave for a bit before beating.<\/p>\n

You CAN use a tub of the spreadable cream cheese if you need to - we have, in a pinch - just know that you\u2019ll have a softer dip, as a result.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Caramel Sauce<\/h4>\n

You can use homemade caramel sauce or store bought - basically, the kind of caramel or butterscotch sauce that you\u2019ll find sold near the ice cream cones and sundae stuff.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling fancy, make up a batch of my Homemade Maple Caramel Sauce<\/a>, and use that - it goes SO well with the maple cheesecake dip base!<\/p>\n

Apples for Servings<\/h4>\n

Because this dip is pretty sweet, I recommend using tart - or sweet-tart- apples for dipping in it.<\/p>\n

We used Honeycrisp apples one time - the sweetness was a bit much. (And I say that as someone with a WICKED sweet tooth!)<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ll generally use Granny Smith apples when on the road, or local Mutsu apples, when they\u2019re in season. (My absolute favourite apple of all time!)<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Toppings<\/h4>\n

We usually make this with crushed Skor Bars. When making this caramel apple dip recipe at home, I\u2019ll put them in a baggie and use a rolling pin to beat them down to size.<\/p>\n

When we\u2019re in the RV, I usually use the caramel jar - CAREFULLY! - instead of a rolling pin.<\/p>\n

That said, you don\u2019t have to use Skor bars - use whatever you like to roll caramel apples in - chopped peanuts, walnuts, and\/or pecans are all great options!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you will need:<\/p>\n

Maple Syrup
\nPure Vanilla Extract
\nSalt<\/p>\n

The only note here is that you want to use real maple syrup - ie: the boiled down sap from a tree. Pancake syrup or table syrup is NOT the same thing!<\/p><\/div>\n
