Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip

I love the flavor of apples dipped in caramel in the fall, but I don’t love all the extra sugar and calories. This cream cheese caramel apple dip satisfies my sweet tooth in a healthier way with fat-free cream cheese, light Cool Whip, and sugar-free caramel sauce. This apple dip is perfect for sharing (or not– I won’t tell!), and it’s so easy to make. I recommend making a double batch because this dip disappears in minutes!

There’s just something about caramel and apples together. It’s so perfect for autumn! If the weather is getting cool you better believe I am making this dip. This cream cheese caramel apple dip is creamy, dreamy, and just a little lighter on the calories and sugar.

What’s in This Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip Recipe?

Fat-Free Cream Cheese: Makes this dip creamy and decadent but less fatty.
Light Cool Whip: Makes the dip light and fluffy in texture.
Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce: Adds rich caramel flavor without all the sugar.
White Chocolate Chips: Add a pop of creamy white chocolate flavor and crunch to the dip.

Tips for Success

You can use full-fat versions of the ingredients for a more indulgent dip.
Feel free to leave out the white chocolate chips for a lower-calorie treat (reduces calories by about 81 per serving).

How to Store

This cream cheese caramel apple dip should stay fresh for 3-5 days when properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s great that it lasts a few days, but I always prefer it on the first day or two after making it. So delish!

Serving Suggestions

I made this creamy caramel dip with apples in mind, so of course I recommend serving this with apple slices. I love Honeycrisp, but Braeburn, Pink Lady, or Gala are also delicious. For a tart pairing, opt for Granny Smith!

I think it would be amazing as a caramel fondue! Cube other goodies, like cheesecake, brownies, or pound cake, and dip in the caramel sauce for a delicious treat!
