Description
A creamy, sweet, and crunchy no-bake fall treat that combines tangy cream cheese, luscious caramel, and crisp apples for the perfect cozy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup toffee bits or chopped nuts
- Fresh apple slices (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady) for dipping
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish or pie plate.
- Warm caramel sauce slightly until pourable, then drizzle or spread over the cream cheese layer.
- Sprinkle toffee bits, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve chilled with apple slices arranged around the dish.
Notes
Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture. If making ahead, add the caramel and toppings just before serving. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to three days.
