No Bake Caramel Apple Butter Cheesecake Dip

With the leaves turning colors, pumpkin spice lattes brewing, and crisp apples ready for picking, fall is a great time to take a walk and reflect on life. Life is funny sometimes. You’re on a path towards one thing, then you find yourself going towards something you weren’t expecting. Like me moving to a small town so I can work in the access machine industry (I didn’t even know this company existed). Or spending all your spare time developing and sharing recipes. Or making a cheese ball and ending up with a dip. People always say it’s the journey, not the destination. Well as long as I’m on this journey, I’m going to pack along this Caramel Apple Butter Cheesecake Dip because it is absolutely addicting. It is homemade caramel sauce mixed with apple butter then combined with cream cheese. The perfect dip to dunk your apple slices or graham crackers in.



No Bake Caramel Apple Butter Cheesecake Dip

Like I said, this recipe was supposed to be a cheese ball. You know, that round ball of cheese you often see at holiday parties surrounded by crackers. I was going to make a caramel apple butter ball then roll it in toasted pecans. However, when I added the intended amount of caramel apple butter sauce, there wasn’t enough apple butter flavor. Should I add more sauce to get more flavor, risking that it may be too loose to roll into a ball? I hate when you tell me it’s apple butter but then can barely taste apple butter. Then I thought, well should I add more powdered sugar to firm it up? The mixture was already sweet with the caramel sauce. Should I really add in more sugar? I’m not sure what clicked, but I decided it classified as a dip because it was good enough to eat with a spoon alone.

  2. Now you mention it, hot caramel and my body have a painful attraction to each other... :/ I like how it turned out into a nice-looking-most-likely-delicious-tasting dip.

  29. Fuggedabout using this as a dip - I'd drink it with a straw! It sounds like liquid apple caramel cheesecake. Amazing! Thanks for all the tips about making caramel. I made caramel for the first time a few weeks ago and while I was a bit apprehensive, it was super easy. You're right about the colour of the caramel and how it keeps cooking, fast!

  36. Mmmmm....two of my favorite dessert selections: cheesecake and caramel! I'm afraid I could do a lot of damage to a bowl of this dip! Excellent #SS post, Carla~

  39. I remember the first time making caramel and the recipe said it would bubble a lot and I though, really? How much would it really bubble. But, as you mentioned, YES, it does. Can get quite violent, so your tips are spot on. Anyway, your dip looks fantastic, Carla....it's welcome at my parties any day!
