Velvety cream cheese blends with caramel toffee and crisp apples for a sweet, crunchy treat everyone will enjoy.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Dairy

01 - 227 grams softened cream cheese

→ Sugars

02 - 100 grams packed brown sugar
03 - 50 grams granulated sugar

→ Flavorings and Mix-ins

04 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
05 - 60 grams English toffee bits, divided

→ Fruit

06 - 2 medium crisp apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), sliced

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Place softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until smooth and free of lumps.
02 - Add packed brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl. Blend on low speed or stir slowly until sugars dissolve and mixture is glossy and uniform.
03 - Fold in vanilla extract and most of the toffee bits, reserving a small portion for garnish. Mix gently to maintain creamy texture.
04 - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
05 - Place apple slices around the dip perimeter or serve them separately for dipping.
06 - Sprinkle reserved toffee bits over the top just before serving for added crunch and presentation.
07 - Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving to maintain scoopable consistency.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Use lemon juice on apple slices to prevent browning if preparing in advance.
02 - Chilling the dip for a few hours enhances flavor melding, but allow to soften before serving.
