This caramel apple dip is creamy and sweet and makes snacking on apples feel like a decadent treat! Kids and adults alike will love this easy fruit dip! Fall-inspired dip irresistible so get your apples ready!
When my kids would little I would do anything to get them to eat more fruits and vegetables. I would serve their broccoli with ranch dressing or cheese sauce and I would peel their apple slices and serve them with peanut butter.
I would do anything to get them to eat!
Once I got the kids used to the fruit and veggies I wanted them to consume then it was a delicate process of weaning them off of that ranch dressing or eating apples with the skins on. It always happened, it would just take time and patience.
I’m sure my kids would have loved eating their apples every day with this caramel apple dip recipe. It really does make apples taste like dessert!

Caramel Apple Dip Recipe Tips
Make sure that you cream the cream cheese and brown sugar completely to prevent lumps
Try experimenting with other pudding flavors! Butterscotch or white chocolate would taste great!
Serve this dip with any variety of apples! Because this dip is on the sweet side, tart apples work great. Try Granny smith apples, Honeycrisp apples, or MacIntosh Apples Top your dip with toffee bits, salted nuts, brown sugar, a caramel drizzle or crushed gingersnaps!
Is Caramel Apple Dip Gluten-Free?
Yes! This dip is fine for those individuals watching their gluten intake. Instant pudding mix is generally gluten-free but always check the packaging.
This apple dip is such a treat to serve as a snack or as a dessert! It is easy to make and a great way to watch apples disappear!
Fruit salad is a great way to enjoy summer’s finest. Fresh, ripe fruits are tossed in a simple Pina colada inspired sauce and tossed with coconut. This tropical fruit salad recipe makes a great side dish and an excellent dessert! It is the best summer fruit salad!

You are a very cool mom exactly for the reason of making this caramel apple fruit dip! And many other reasons! I had such a fabulous time with you while we were in Cleveland! Hope to see you soon!
Awwww you ARE a cool mom! Except dressing up for Halloween is awesome and I’m totally gonna talk you into it 🙂 This dip is AMAZING. I a so obsessed with all things caramel lately it’s crazy. And I think I have all this stuff! You are the coolest.
This would work on so many levels, Tanya. It’s a great dip that would encourage kids to eat more fruit. It would be great for after school snack time. The fact that it lessens the impact of your Brussels sprouts is icing on the cake. 🙂
Ooh, this looks really good, Tanya! I need something to take to my little one’s preschool Halloween party, and I think this might be it! (P.S. I’m SO not a cool mom!)
You are definitely cooler than I am…I thought we were on the same level until I saw you can do a handstand, cartwheel, and pirouette. WAY beyond me 🙂 This fruit dip, though? This I could replicate…and I would definitely be a cool mom. Looks delicious!
