FAQs About This Caramel Apple Dip Recipe

Are you supposed to refrigerate caramel dip?

Yes, you should refrigerate caramel dip after you make it. When serving, it can be left out at room temperature for up to 2 hours.

Should apples be cold before dipping in caramel?

Serving the apple slices cold is recommended for the best dipping experience. The caramel apple dip is slightly warm, so a cold apple slice helps the caramel apple dip to solidify slightly. With that said, room temperature apples work just as well.

What are the best apples to dip in caramel?

Since this cream cheese caramel dip is on the sweeter side, tart apples like Granny Smith apples, Braeburn apples, and McIntosh apples pair really well. If you want to add some sweetness, go with Fuji apples or Gala apples.
