Introduction

This Toffee Apple Dip is a delightful and easy treat perfect for parties or a sweet snack. Creamy, sweet, and infused with crunchy toffee bits, it pairs wonderfully with crisp tart apples.

A white bowl filled with creamy peanut butter dip that has a smooth and slightly chunky texture with small nut pieces on top, placed in the center of a white plate. Around the bowl, there are evenly arranged apple slices with three different colors: red, yellow, and green, showing off both their smooth skin and pale juicy flesh. One green apple slice is dipped halfway into the creamy dip, resting against the side of the bowl. The whole setup is on a white marbled textured surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 8-ounce package of cream cheese (room temperature)
⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 8-ounce package Heath English Toffee Bits (Bits O’ Brickle – without milk chocolate)
3-4 medium tart apples (sliced)

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating on medium speed for an additional 3 minutes until fully combined.
Step 3: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow flavors to meld and dip to firm up.
Step 5: Serve chilled with sliced tart apples for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, sprinkle a few toffee bits on top before serving.
Substitute the bells or tart apples with Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a different flavor profile.
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with cinnamon for a warm, spiced twist.

Storage

Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if separated slightly. The apple slices are best served fresh but can be kept in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning for a few hours.

How to Serve

A white plate with curved edges holds three types of apple slices arranged in separate sections: green apple slices with a smooth, bright green peel and white flesh; red apple slices with a shiny, red and yellow peel and creamy white flesh; and yellow apple slices with a yellow-orange peel and pale flesh. In the middle of the plate, a small white bowl contains creamy peanut butter dip with a thick, slightly chunky texture, topped with small peanut pieces. Small green herb sprigs are placed near the apple slices on the plate, all set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of toffee bits?

Yes, you can substitute Heath English Toffee Bits with any similar crunchy toffee bits, but avoid those coated in milk chocolate if you want to keep the dip less sweet and balanced.

Can this dip be made ahead of time?

Absolutely. Preparing the dip a few hours or even a day before serving helps deepen the flavors. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
