Easy Apple Dip Recipe (2024)

Rich, sweet, and creamy Apple Dip is easy and delicious for parties and snacks! Ready in minutes from a few ingredients, it’s an addictive dip for apples, pretzels, and more!

Delicious dips are always a favorite in my house for snacking and get-togethers. I’ve noticed that where I place the dips and snacks is where the crowd will gather! Cold dips like this apple dip and cookie dough dip are sweet treats, while some savory cold dips like southern pimento cheese and shrimp dip are popular, too. Hot dips like queso and buffalo chicken dip are crowd favorites as well.

This Easy Apple Dip is one I’ve made for so many years for showers, tailgates, parties, and gatherings, as well as family snacking. It’s always a favorite, and no one seems to tire of it. Mixing up the dip takes less than 5 minutes and requires only a few ingredients. While it’s called apple dip (other names are caramel apple dip, cream cheese dip, brown sugar apple dip, and more), it’s delicious with much more than apples! It does have a sweet, somewhat tangy caramel taste, so enjoy it with lots of fruit, pretzels, and more.

Ingredients

Recipe Variation: Mix in a few toffee bits for a Toffee Apple Dip with a slightly crunchy texture or a sprinkle of apple pie spice for a delicious variation for fall.

Can You Use a Sugar Substitute?

Yes! You can absolutely use an equal amount of brown sugar substitute and sugar substitute if you prefer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix. Add the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a mixing bowl.Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth, well combined, and fluffy.
2. Serve. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with sliced fruit or pretzels.

What to Serve with Apple Dip?

• Sliced Apples – I like to use a mixture of sweet and tart apples. Sweet apples like Honeycrisp and Fuji and a few tart apples like Granny Smith.
• Sliced Pears – Use a firm pear and slice for dipping. You can use the same method to prevent browning as provided.
• Other fruits – Pineapple, grapes, melon, and more.
• Graham Crackers or Buttery Crackers
• Gingersnaps
• Pretzels – I love to serve the small twisted pretzels with this dip. The salty exterior of the pretzels tastes fantastic with the sweet, tangy dip.
