Apple Pie Dip Recipe

Introduction

This Apple Pie Dip is a creamy, fruity treat that’s perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. Combining fluffy cream cheese with sweet apple pie filling, it offers all the flavors of classic apple pie without the baking. Serve it with your favorite dippers for an easy crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
• Ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
• Serving options: graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or cinnamon pita chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: Beat the cold heavy cream in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the now-empty mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract (if using), and kosher salt with the paddle attachment on medium speed. Continue until the mixture is light and very fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a flexible spatula until fully combined. Spread the mixture evenly into a wide, shallow bowl or pie dish.
4. Step 4: Use kitchen shears to cut the apple pie filling into small, pea-sized pieces. Spoon the chopped apple filling evenly over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of dippers.

Tips & Variations

• For extra texture, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before serving.
• Try swapping the apple pie filling for pumpkin pie filling or mixed berry preserves for a seasonal twist.
• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth, fluffy dip.
• If you don’t have kitchen shears, finely chop the apple filling with a knife before spooning it on.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving again. This dip is best enjoyed fresh and chilled; avoid freezing as the texture may change.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip a few hours in advance and refrigerate it. Add the apple pie filling topping just before serving to keep it fresh and maintain texture.

What can I use if I don’t have a stand mixer?

You can use a hand mixer or even beat the cream and cream cheese mixture by hand, though it will take more time and effort to reach the desired fluffy consistency.

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Using the paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the 8 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in the now-empty bowl until light and very fluffy.

5. Serve: Serve the Apple Pie Dip chilled with your choice of graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or cinnamon pita chips for dipping.
