Cream cheese apple dip

Cream Cheese Apple Dip

Cream cheese apple dip takes only 4 basic ingredients and comes together in a flash. Slice up a few apples and enjoy! Tart varieties of apples are especially tasty with this sweet dip.

Ingredients

  • 8- oz package of cream cheese softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until creamy. Chill for a few hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy with sliced apples or other fruit.
  2. Optional: Stir in a handful of chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
  3. An electric hand-mixer makes quick work of this recipe. In fact, this is a great recipe for practicing with the hand-mixer. It doesn't splatter much and is easy to mix, especially if the cream cheese is room temperature. My 2-year-old also loves packing the brown sugar into the measuring cup with a spoon. As you can see, my little guy is an enthusiastic helper!

Recipe Notes

If I'm making this apple dip for a big group, I usually double the recipe. It holds up well in the fridge, if you have any leftover, and I think it tastes even better the next day. I promise this dip will be a huge hit with all of your friends and family. It will become one of your go-to recipes. This dip also makes a delicious frosting for apple or pumpkin muffins – yum!
