Taffy Apple Dip
One of the first things I buy for Fall at the store are Taffy Apples. No matter what your age everyone loves to eat a yummy Taffy Apple. So why not turn this Fall favorite into a dip that can be served to a crowd of all ages!
Now I’ve talked about easy peasy recipes before but nothing could get any easier than this dip! If you find pre-chopped peanuts you simply have no preparation at all to make this.
It’s just a matter of putting it all on a tray and that’s it folks! Your biggest chore will be deciding what cute platter to use!
How to Build the Perfect Dip
So once you have your Fall platter ready all you do is take your brick of cream cheese and shape it into a round and with your fingers make a divot in the center so all that yummy caramel can pool in the center.
I use low-fat cream cheese because why not try to save some calories… lol! Next just pour a half cup or so of caramel sauce all over the top. You can find caramel sauce in the ice cream aisle. Next put a generous sprinkle of Heath Candy Chips and chopped up peanuts and that’s seriously it!!
It sounds too simple to be as good as it is but wait until you try this—you will be making it over and over!
Thirsty yet? Let’s start mixing up this Fall favorite…
Serving Ideas That Shine
I like to serve it with an array of apples. I choose three different kinds and colors so that it looks pretty on the platter. I also served it with graham crackers and pretzel thins. The pretzel thins are amazing with this because the combo of sweet and salty is just oh so good!
If you have it in your cabinet you can sprinkle Maldon Flaky Sea Salt over the top.
This really takes it to the next level but it’s not necessary. It’s good to invest in a box of this specialty salt as you’ll find you’ll use it over and over in all different recipes.
Tips for Parties and Entertaining
If you’re having a party or people over there’s really no reason to make this ahead of time because it seriously takes no effort.
Plus, if you are slicing apples they will turn brown unless you eat them right away. You can always brush them with some lemon juice and that will stop the browning.
But this is so yummy it’s going to disappear way before the apples will have time to turn!
A Fall Treat for Every Occasion
Fall is just such a fun time to take advantage of all the goodies that are available. If you go apple picking with the kids, this is a great way to serve up some of those wonderful fresh-picked apples!Â
