Ingredients
Method
Whip the Cream Cheese Base
- Beat Until Fluffy: In a medium mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 2 to 3 minutes until light, fluffy, and completely smooth with zero lumps.
- Fold in Toffee: Fold in 1/4 cup of the toffee bits directly into the cream cheese mixture for extra crunch in every bite.
Layer & Assemble
- Spread in Dish: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a shallow 9-inch pie dish, ceramic tart pan, or serving platter using an offset spatula.
- Pour Caramel: Pour the thick caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer, gently nudging it to the edges with the back of a spoon.
- Garnish: Scatter the remaining 3/4 cup of toffee bits and mini chocolate chips generously across the caramel. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
Prep Apples & Serve
- Slice & Dip: Slice the apples into sturdy wedges right before serving (or toss with a splash of club soda or lemon water to prevent browning). Arrange the apple slices, pretzels, and graham crackers around the dip and serve immediately!
