5-Minute Whipped Caramel Apple Dip
This quick dip will be a big hit at your next fall shindig. With whipped cream, caramel and bits of sweet apples this 5-minute whipped caramel apple dip is the perfect treat for your next event.
There are a list of items I will tear into ferociously and wish wild and reckless abandon. And this weekend’s purchase wasn’t one of them. Which only goes to show the huge disaparity between what excites me versus Ben…
What I will tear into like a wolverine?
A bag of butterscotch chips – to which might look something like this… It’s horrifying.
A new calendar. I live new calendars every year at Christmas time. Is a calendar a mandatory Christmas gift for anyone else in their family? Like underwear?
The latest issue of Fresh magazine. Seriously, it’s my number 1.
New shoes – because being a girl doesn’t make that apparent enough.
And new cleaning products – it’s stupid how excited new house hold cleaning products make me. My first job in high school was at a local vet hospital where I did all the cleaning, dog walking and scrubbing of the joint. Doc threw me plenty of side-eyes my way when he’s brought in bags of new dish soap, or Mr. Clean in meadow fresh and I got animatedly excited. Or when I became visibly disappointed at the repeat of the previous months’ orange scented Mr. Clean. A girl craves variety in her life! And the trend of cleaning products continues to this day.
But there are things I don’t get wildly excited about – which Ben finds terribly disappointing…
Like YouTube videos. Fantasy Football. Cerebral dramatic movies *cough* Gravity *cough*. And apparently, external hard drives.
This weekend Ben was able to pull his face away from the YouTubes and the studying to do the weekend grocery shopping and Costco run with me – how romantic – and as I made a B-line right for the TVs in an attempt to convince him that we need a new one to appropriately show off the fabulousness that is the Apple TV he diverted my attention to the external hard drives.
What man doesn’t get hot and bothered by a new TV – ESPECIALLY when his wife is volunteering to buy it for him no questions asked?! Oh right, mine. He was more excited that I was going to buy myself a new external hard drive so I can store the obscene number of photos I can’t bring myself to delete from my computer… 4 TB and all. Somewhere in the back of my mind Tim Taylor is doing the “MORE POWER” grunt. 4 Terabites? Tim Taylor would be proud. Remember when 512MB in a flashdrive was big doins?!
Now who’s throwing side eyes at who? So the thing got added to the cart with the 137 roll pack of paper towels, a four-pack of picture frames I couldn’t pass up, and a half gallon of heavy whipping cream that makes me feel really guilty to even have. But not guilty enough not to buy it! So tonight – to make the man happy – the computer is getting backed up. Wish me luck! If you hear a plethora of swears echoing through the glens, mountains, skyscrapers and hills like Maria von Trapp sings to the birds, don’t worry – it’s just me.

Description
This quick dip will be a big hit at your next fall shindig. With whipped cream, caramel and bits of sweet apples this 5-minute whipped caramel apple dip is the perfect treat for your next event.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream or 1 container Non-Dairy Prepared Whipped Topping (Such as Cool Whip)

Instructions
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks begin to form, 2-3 minutes.

Notes
The apples will lend the dip some sweetness while the dip chills. If the dip is not sweet enough for your liking, stir in a tablespoon of sugar before serving.
I’m not sure this would last long enough for me to share at my next party 🙂 I just want to attack that bowl with some apples or a spoon! Yum!!!
Fair enough – I wouldn’t judge. Really it was hard enough for me to share with Ben!!
This looks absolutely sensational – I love trying new types of dips, especially this time of year when I tend to entertain more! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Happy to! And I agree – I love a good dip when entertaining. No body doesn’t like dip!
I just spoon this dip on top of a scoop of ice cream, that’s sitting on top of a slice of pie. I hope that’s ok. 😉
Oh my gosh – that’s a brilliant idea. I knew I adored you for a reason Erika!
This looks perfect! I think I could dip everything in this or just eat it with a spoon! 🙂
Not gonna lie – that’s what I did!! haha Thanks Tiegs!
I pretty much just want to drink this through a straw. That is all. <3
There is no shame in that. Really, I think that’s what makes us kindred spirits.
Mmmmm….this would disappear pretty quickly around here!
Ohhh it disappeared pretty quick around my house, too!! I know it’d be a hit for your family Robin!
Ooh, this can be dangerous! I don’t think I could share it – looks amazing!
Thanks Anna! Sharing is so hard sometimes, isn’t it?
I’m with Laurie on this one and might have to get two straws for this dip. Actually forget the straw and get me a BIG wooden spoon.
LOL, I know Laurie has the right idea, right?! I’m all for the spoon approach!
Um, ditto x billion on what Laurie and Meagan said! Pass me a straw!!
Okay – deal. Next time we’re all together we make this and all grab spoons and straws and race to the bottom of the bowl! Oh wait – how bout December then!! SCORE!!
I didn’t even know they made whipped cream in half-gallon containers. I must buy one too, and then we can have a contest who gets through it first!
Wow, does that ever look good! This might be my new favorite snack!
I could eat this with a spoon and then lick bowl!
Oh wow! This is fantastic, I could finish this off quick 😉
Will this dip keep overnight?
Yeah, it seems to do well over night if you use heavy whipping cream. Fold it before serving to make sure any liquid that separates gets incorporated back in. Good luck!

How many days ahead can I make this for a party?
Hi Caressa, I would make it at most one day before. The apple will release some moisture and you don’t want it to liquify the whipped cream. I hope that help!
