- Apple Slices. Granny Smith pair nicely with the sweet dip. The tartness balances out the rich dip when dipping apples.
- Fruit assortment. This dip really goes well with any fruit. We also like strawberries, pineapple and grapes. Pears make a great option as well.
- Animal Crackers. Serve this dip with plain or chocolate animal crackers.
- Pretzels. Try pretzel sticks. snaps or twists to dip into the caramel.
- Vanilla Wafers. These are not overly sweet so make a great dipper for caramel dip.
- Graham Crackers. Try different varieties. I like to put out an assortment of plain, cinnamon and chocolate graham crackers.
- Caramel Sauce. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top of the dip before serving. It makes the dip even more rich and delicious.
Variations:
- Whipped Cream. Combine caramel sauce with whipped cream instead of cream cheese for a lighter caramel apple dip.
- Homemade Caramel. Substitute homemade caramel sauce instead of store bought. It is not hard to make this caramel sauce recipe if you have a few extra minutes.
- Toppings. Top the dip with toffee bits for a delicious topping. You can also mix this into the dip if you prefer.
- Apple Pie. Try combining apple pie filling into the dip for chunks of apple in every bite.
- Layered Dip. Instead of combining the ingredients, try layering them. Spread the softened cream cheese in the bottom of a dish. Pour the caramel sauce on top and smooth out.
- Chopped Pecans. Mix in ½ cup chopped pecans into the dip. Combine well with the caramel sauce and cream cheese.
- Mini Chocolate Chips. Toss in a handful of mini chocolate chips. The combination in the dip is fabulous.
- Softened Dip. This dip is best served softened at room temperature. If it has been refrigerated, allow to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
There are numerous variations to try with this recipe. Feel free to get creative and try new combinations.
It is delicious plain but equally as fabulous with a tasty mix in.

Tips for caramel dip:
- Room temperature ingredients. The dip will be easier to combine if using softened room temperature cream cheese. Not only will it blend easier but the texture will be smoother.
- Full fat ingredients. I do not recommend using reduced fat or fat free cream cheese. The results aren’t the same and it isn’t a good substitute.
