Apple Pie Dip
Apple Pie Dip comes together fast using a handful of common ingredients. It’s a creamy, fall inspired, apple pie spiced dessert dip topped with apple pie filling.
A 15-MINUTE DESSERT DIP
All the warm, comforting flavors of apple pie, but now, in a fun, shareable dessert dip! I absolutely love sweet dessert dips. I can take a sweet dip and my Pumpkin Shaped Cheeseball to any gathering and I can guarantee you they will be gone fast! People love finger foods and they love to eat things they don’t normally make for themselves. This is great for a light dessert too when you don’t want anything too heavy but you’re feeling like a little something sweet. It whips up quickly and gives you all the apple pie flavors without the fuss of making a pie!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
This can be made the night before. If possible, I’d recommend waiting to add the apple pie topping until ready to serve.
I really think this serves up much easier when the apples in the canned apple pie filling have been chopped into smaller pieces. The easiest way to do this is to take a knife and insert it into the can and kind of saw back and forth with it in the can. If you need a visual on how to do this, I explain this process best in my Easy Apple Danish recipe.
This is a great recipe to have fun with and change up something each time you make it. Instead of the apple pie filling, next time, try using peach pie filling. Feel free to swap the apple pie spice with plain cinnamon. You could even make my Cherry Cheesecake Dip which is a similar concept with slightly different ingredients, and man, is it another fun dessert dip!
This dip is designed to be an easily scoop-able dip. However, if you want it even thicker, instead of using the sweetened condensed milk, swap it out for marshmallow fluff and give it a try.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days in a covered container.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- block cream cheese– softened to room temperature. If you forgot to set it out in time, check out some of these tips on How to Soften Cream Cheese Faster.
- sweetened condensed milk – you’ll need about half of a can. Make sure you grab sweetened condensed milk and NOT evaporated milk. The cans look very similar and they are usually near each other on the store shelf. If you grab the wrong one, this won’t be sweet and it will turn to liquid.
- vanilla extract
- apple pie spice– grab some from the store, or make your Homemade Apple Pie Spice.
- whipped topping – The name brand is Cool Whip but you can use the store brand.
- canned apple pie filling– apples chopped up into bite sized pieces (see my recipe for Crescent Roll Apple Danishes on how to chop that apples up easily without even removing them from the can!. You can use homemade apple pie filling if you have a favorite recipe.
- dippers – Nilla wafers, graham crackers, cinnamon graham crackers, cookies or fruit slices, for serving
HOW TO MAKE APPLE PIE DIP:
In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer (or stand mixer) mix until smooth and creamy. Then stir in the apple pie spice.
Finally, stir in the Cool Whip until combined. Spread this mixture into the bottom of a pie dish or other serving dish. Evenly spread the apple pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
Then serve! You can set it out with Nilla wafers, graham crackers, cinnamon graham crackers, cookies or fruit slices. If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
