How to Make Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup brown sugar (add more to taste)
5.5 oz caramel sauce or caramel dip (Use store-bought or homemade following my recipe right here.)
1/4 cup pecans (toasted)
Apples (or other fruits to dip)

Directions:

Cream the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar together until combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over your serving plate or shallow bowl. We want it to be a little deep so you can comfortably dip.
Spread the caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle toasted pecans on top.
Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften, then enjoy with your apples.
