Dip Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Serving
- Apples, sliced (quantity as desired for dipping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.
- Mix Until Smooth: Using a whisk, stand mixer, or electric hand beaters, beat the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth, shiny, and all sugar crystals are dissolved.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately by dipping slices of apples, or refrigerate the dip for later use.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing for best texture and ease.
- For a fluffier, whipped dip, reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and beat cream cheese and sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes before adding vanilla and mixing until smooth.
- Other excellent dippers include graham crackers, bananas, strawberries, grapes, sliced pears, ginger snap cookies, or pretzels.
- To prevent sliced apples from browning, soak them in a mixture of water and lemon juice (or pineapple juice or fruit fresh) for 10 minutes, drain, then store in a sealed bag in the refrigerator until serving.
