I called my nanny and asked for her recipe for the apple dip I used to love as a youngster since I was wanting it. I was overcome with pleasant memories of my childhood the moment I tasted it. Enjoy with apple slices for a caramel-like flavor!

I liked the apple dip. It comes together quickly. I used a hand held mixer to combine the ingredients because a spoon didn’t cut it. Next time I will add cinnamon as a garnish.
Super Easy and Sweet Snack! I paired this sweet snack with green apples for flavor and color. Additionally, I used pure vanilla from Mexico. After mixing and mixing with a spoon I eventually used the hand blender with the whisk attachment to smooth out and blend the cream cheese more. This would be great with a few dashes of cinnamon and a bit of chopped pistachios. I would also recommend ¼ cup brown sugar vs. ½.
This is so good! I can eat this by the spoonful. Delicious recipe with ingredients I always have on hand. I used Neufchâtel cheese (which is the lite version of cream cheese). Will make this often. Thanks for the recipe.
My daughter and I had fun making this delicious dip. It was super quick and easy. We love it with apple slices, graham crakers, and animal cookies.
This is quite good as a fruit dip, but I also can see this spread on a morning bagel or English muffin. Only 3 ingredients and packed with flavor, delish! Garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
I loved it it was very good nice sweet treat for kids
This was a hit with my book club members. I substituted Splenda.
So simple and delicious! I added some peanut butter and am on my second batch. We ate it with apples, but my daughter wants to start adding it as a dollop on oatmeal – Yum!
I love this recipe! I did add one thing to it to make it more sweet. I added Apple sauce. It was a hit with The whole family! If you use Apple crisp apples, they don’t brown very much at all. And they are much sweeter than most apples, minus the Granny Smith ones. Definitely try this recipe!
This is absolutely delicious!
Great compliments every time I make it! Easy and quick. (Do remember to let the cream cheese soften for awhile first). Made with ingredients I always have on hand. Have taken it to numerous get-togethers. It’s gone in a flash!
I absolutely LOVE this recipe…even though the original was for 8 servings, i downec it to 1 serving and it is the best thing EVER!!!! – Alexis Nitz
So easy to whip up for guests! My kids love it.
Delicious! I like it better than caramel dip!
Thank your Nanny and thank you for sharing! I now make this for my son every fall, so it’s become tradition in our house. Delicious!
I wasn’t able to get mine to the smooth consistency,but the flavors were great and that’s all that matter!
Great recipe especially for parties!! Although, I did make a double batch because, it did get eaten so quick the first time. All in all amazing and simple recipe!
Very good cut it up with a bunch of apples and pears and grandkids just loved it!
Great recipe! We spreaded it onto graham crackers. It was delicious!
