Cream Cheese Apple Pie Dip
Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and diced into ½" cubes - about 4 cups)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
Instructions
Cream Cheese mixture:
- Soften your cream cheese by either setting it out until it's room temp or microwaving it. (Add to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, stir then heat for another 30 seconds.)
- Using a hand mixer on low, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture in the bottom of your dish. (You can use a pie dish or a square baking dish) Place in the fridge while you make the apples.
Cooking the apples:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- While the butter is melting, you can peel and dice your 3 apples.
- Add the diced apples to the melted butter and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes or until they're tender.
- In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in the cold water then add the mixture to the skillet with the apples. Stir to combine.
- Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon, vanilla, and apple pie spice and allow the mixture to bubble for just 2 more minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the apples over the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve warm with crackers! (Graham crackers are our favorite!)
