apple dip recipe

16 October 2019

Oh you guys, this is gooooood. I got this recipe from my sister in law Kristine when we were first married (over 20 years ago!). It's the perfect way to enjoy those fall apples.

The original recipe Kristine gave me:

1 - 8 oz pkg cream cheese softened to room temp (or I stick mine in the microwave for 30 seconds in a glass bowl)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 Tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together with a wire whisk until smooth. Chill and serve with apples. If you want to add some crunch mix in 1/2 cup of Skor bits. Yum! To keep my apples from browning I soak them in lemon juice, Sprite, or Fresca.

If you don't have all that on hand -- I just use the cream cheese, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and a splash of vanilla and it's still divine.

I hope you love it as much as we have!
