Caramel Apple Dip



2 boxes of Cream Cheese
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Caramel
Heath Toffee Bits

Allow the cream cheese to soften on the counter. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Set aside.


Homemade Caramel
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup of Half and Half
4 T of butter
1 T of Vanilla

Put brown sugar, half and half and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously for 5-7 minutes. Mine started to bubble and got a tad thicker. Pull from the burner and add vanilla. Put back on heat for another minute whisking continuously. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes then pour into a jar and refrigerate. Warm up in the microwave later and use as you wish! Yields 10 oz.
Be patient it will thicken up a lot after placed in the fridge.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on a plate and top with caramel then sprinkle with toffee bits. 
Cut organic apples into wedges and serve!

This was a hit at my house this fall. Hope you enjoy too!
