Ingredients
Method
- Combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat the ingredients using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Drizzle the thick caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cream cheese base.
- Slice fresh apples into thin, uniform wedges just before serving.
- Arrange the apple slices around the bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese sits at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Use high-quality salted caramel to cut through the sweetness. To prevent apple browning, toss slices in lemon juice if serving later. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or crushed toffee bits for extra texture.
