Caramel Apple Dip Recipe

Even if you’re not a fruit-for-dessert person, this recipe may just change your mind.

This sweet and creamy soft caramel sauce is unbelievably easy to make at home – no candy thermometer required! And speaking of easy, the caramel lover in me is dying to try this caramel fudge!

It gives you all of the flavors of a caramel apple, but with a much more pleasant, chewy-soft texture and it’s a whole lot easier to serve! I keep this recipe in a mason jar in my fridge for a quick treat whenever I want a lighter dessert while still satisfying my sweet tooth.

You can also use this caramel apple sauce to fill my Caramel Apple Coffee Cake Muffins or to top off my Caramel Apple Muffins – really, any recipe where you may have previously used a storebought caramel sauce, this recipe works perfectly! Try it drizzled on ice cream, or to make an indulgent cake (like our Spice Cake) even more amazing.

And if you’re not a fan of apples, you can serve this dip with just about any “dippable” fruit – or even marshmallows and pretzels!

For this serving, I topped my caramel apple dip with mini chocolate chips and Skor bits because I think it looked prettier for pictures – but you can definitely enjoy it plain.
