Dip Ingredients
- 1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To Serve
- Fresh apples, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Place the softened cream cheese, packed brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.
- Mix ingredients smoothly: Using a whisk, stand mixer, or electric hand-beaters, blend the ingredients together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth, shiny, and all sugar grains have dissolved.
- Serve or refrigerate: Serve the dip immediately by dipping fresh apple slices into it, or refrigerate the dip for later use.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened for the best mixing results and a smooth texture.
- For a fluffier dip, reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and beat the cream cheese and sugar on high speed for 5 minutes until fluffy before adding vanilla and mixing until smooth.
- Other great dipping options include graham crackers, bananas, strawberries, grapes, sliced pears, ginger snap cookies, or pretzels.
- To prevent apple slices from browning, soak them in a bowl of water with lemon juice, pineapple juice, or fruit fresh for 10 minutes, then drain and refrigerate until ready to serve.
