I am so excited to share this recipe with you today…I don’t know what in the world has taken me so long to post about it!
I was introduced to this delicious dip about 10 years ago from a friend of mine, Amanda Duggan, and it became a regular at get-togethers, parties, and showers ever since. This is super simple, but looks impressive! It has a layer of lightly sweetened cream cheese…on top of that is a layer of caramel apple dip, and to top it all off, it’s sprinkled with Heath Toffee Bits. YUM!

I am passionate about good food, cooking for family and friends, and creating recipes that form lasting memories from one generation to the next. I hope you find inspiration for cooking and creating here!
Do you use an 8 Oz (1 cup) bag of the Heath bits ‘o brickle toffee bits, or do you use a solid measuring cup of the toffee bits?
I usually use the bag. The measurement doesn’t have to be exact because it’s just a topping. I hope you enjoy!
Yumm,Thanks for sharing! This was brought to our party with Granny apples.It was so good but ran out of apples so we started dipping with graham crackers ,mmm was just as good .gave me the idea of making in a graham cracker pie shell next time .tried that and it was best dessert there!
I’m so glad you liked it! The pie idea sounds delicious…I’ll have to try it sometime!
The recipe is easy. I made it the day before and I don’t think I should have. The Carmel broke down and got watery. Has any one else made the same mistake? I’ll try it again but will make it just before I’m ready to serve.
You could always make up the cream cheese part and refrigerate overnight, then assemble right before serving.
If I make before traveling 1 hr with dip do you think that’s too long for caramel and cream cheese to sit?
Hi Ashleigh. I don’t think it would be a problem. But to be on the safe side, you might consider setting it on top of ice in a larger dish or cooler. Also, you could bring the ingredients in a cooler and quickly assemble it once you get there
How much cream cheese do you use? Also what size
Plate do you use?
16 ounces of cream cheese. You can use a dinner plate or a platter.
How do you keep the apple slices from turning brown after they are sliced?
You can toss them in a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, or there’s a powder called “Fruit Fresh” that’s usually sold in the spice section or canning section of the supermarket. That will also keep them from browning.
My friend suggested soaking the cut up apples in pineapple juice overnight 🙂
Hi Grace. That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us!
