Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 3 medium apples (about 1.5 lbs or 680g), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (85g) toffee bits
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: drizzle of caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Caramel Apples (10-12 minutes): Peel, core, and dice apples into small cubes. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Whip the Cream (3-4 minutes): In a medium mixing bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Base (3-4 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides as needed.
  4. Fold it Together (2 minutes): Stir a large scoop of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the Dip (2 minutes): Spread cheesecake mixture evenly in a serving dish. Spoon cooled caramel apples on top. Sprinkle with toffee bits and optional nuts. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
  6. Chill (Optional but Recommended): Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set before serving. Do not refrigerate overnight.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Cool apples completely before adding to dip to prevent melting. For best texture, chill dip for 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
