Ingredients To Make Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip

Farmer's Cheese- This can be found in most grocery stores. Cottage cheese or cream cheese would work as well.
Kefir- Lifeway makes my favorite and it will thin out the dip a little so it is not so thick.
Caramel- Use your favorite store bought variety. If you want to make your own, that would be great too! I haven't had much luck with homemade caramel dip, so I stick with high quality store bought.

Let's Make Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip!

This dip could not be easier!

Drain the Farmer's Cheese. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until the dip is creamy, about 1 minute. You want to get the dip as smooth as possible. A few lumps will remain because of the nature of the cheese and that's ok! As smooth as you can get it is best.

The ingredients are added to a food processor

Top with more caramel and swirl the caramel throughout the dip. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

The Dip is swirled with more caramel and the cheese is in the top right hand corner of the frame.

Tips and Tricks

This dip is best served chilled. Though it may be tempting to eat it right out of the food processor, a few hours in the refrigerator will give you the best tasting dip.
If your caramel is a little too thick, place it in the microwave (lid removed) for 30 seconds. That will make it easier to pour.
Use an apple corer to easily slice the apples. No need to peel them when you are dipping them.

Variations Of This Dip

Instead of caramel, load this dip up with peanut butter and then swirl more peanut butter on top!
Use an if cream fudge topping and swirl chocolate chips into the dip. Who doesn't love chocolate and cheesecake??
Swirl in canned pie filling. Cherry, apple, or blueberry pie filling would be fun changes to this recipe during different times of the year!
If you don't have kefir to thin out the dip, whole milk or 2% milk will work perfectly.
Dip apples, cinnamon sugar crackers, or graham crackers into this. All of those are delicious choices!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you freeze this dip?

This is best served immediately. Freezing tends to bring out excess liquid in the cheese and will thin out the dip too much.

How long will this last in the refrigerator?

In an airtight container, this dip should last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

How do I keep the apples from turning brown on a serving tray?

When you put out this dip and slice the apples, they want to immediately turn brown. To avoid that and make them look appetizing the whole time this dip is out, simple squeeze some lemon juice on the slices. This will keep the apples from turning brown and also add a little tang to the appetizer.
