Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4–6 crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), sliced
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whip the mixture with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure no sugar lumps remain.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Core and slice apples into thin wedges and arrange them around the bowl for serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Toss apple slices in lemon or pineapple juice to prevent browning. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Optional: fold in 1/2 cup of toffee bits for crunch.
