3-Ingredient Caramel Apple Dip Recipe

Have you ever bought those little packs of caramel dip and apples? Well, when you see how easy it is to make the dip from scratch you won’t need to buy them again! This caramel apple dip is so easy to make and is the best dip for sliced apples.

It’s great during the fall when apples are in season, but I make it all year because I can’t wait until the fall season to have it! If you’ve never made your own apple dip you are in for a treat.

I used to buy those store-bought apples and caramel dip packs but, dang, they’re expensive! Not to mention that they’re made with a lot more ingredients than this homemade version I’m sharing. It’s so easy and you can use reusable snack containers to store it as a grab-and-go snack.

3 Ingredients Needed

Caramel squares or bits (be sure to unwrap them if they’re wrapped caramels)
Heavy whipping cream – no substitute for this, if you want the dip to be smooth.
Creamy peanut butter– not natural – it won’t melt properly.

These three ingredients combined together make the best caramel dip. It has a perfect dippable texture.

How to Make Caramel Apple Dip with Peanut Butter

Place the caramels, cream and peanut butter in a medium saucepan.
Heat them over low heat and stir until the caramels melt and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.

EASY Peanut Butter Caramel Apple Dip - this recipe has only 3 ingredients and is the perfect dip for apples or fruit!

Serving Suggestions

You can serve the dip warm with sliced apples or cool it and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Sliced apples are the obvious choice because they pair perfectly with the caramel. Just like a caramel apple but so much easier to eat!

Use whichever apple you like the best, but I tend to use Granny Smith apples because their tart flavor pairs perfectly with the caramel.

But don’t stop there! Serve it with other fruit like strawberries, sliced bananas, pears or other fruit that you like.

It’s also great with pretzels and cookies like vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, and graham crackers.

Pput together a dessert dip platter with the caramel apple dip and a mix of dippers to go with it and let everyone choose their own!
