    Toffee Apple Dip

    This creamy Toffee Apple Dip served with cinnamon sugar pita chip apples is a perfect autumn dessert. It's easy to make for a fall harvest party, Thanksgiving, or an apple-picking event.

    toffee apple dip served with cinnamon sugar pita chip apples.

    If you are looking for an easy dessert for fall, you've come to the right place. This apple dip is made with a no-bake cheesecake filling, caramelized cinnamon apples, and bits of toffee.

    The flavor is a combination of apple pie a la mode and toffee cheesecake. Yum!

    This dip would taste great with graham crackers, cookies, or store-bought pita chips but I decided to make some apple-shaped cinnamon pita chips to make the dip look festive and fun.

    creamy apple cream cheese dip topped with toffee bits and pita chip apples.

    Cinnamon Pita Chip Apples and Toffee Apple Dip

    Ingredients

    Toffee Apple Dip:

    Granny Smith Apples - Tart apples like Granny Smith work best in this dip to balance the sweetness of the marshmallow fluff.
    lemon juice - A splash of lemon juice will add a bright flavor to your apples.
    butter - You'll sautee the apples in butter, brown, sugar, and cinnamon to give your dip a delicious apple pie flavor
    brown sugar
    cinnamon
    cream cheese - Be sure to set your cream cheese out on the counter at least one hour before making this dip so it's soft enough to mix easily.
    marshmallow fluff - This will add sweetness to the dip and a fluffy texture.
    Cool Whip, frozen whipped topping, thawed
    Heath Toffee bits - The little bits of crunchy toffee add a rich caramel flavor to your dip.

    Cinnamon Pita Chip Apple Crisps:

    pita bread - Depending on the size of your bread and your cutters,  you'll get 6-10 apples out of each pita.
    Red sanding sugar - You can buy red sugar or you can pour some white granulated sugar into a zip-top bag, add a few drops of red food coloring, close the bag, shake, and the sugar will turn red.
    Cinnamon - This will add a nice warm spice flavor to your pita chip apples.
    vegetable oil for frying - You could bake your chips but they will have the best texture and flavor if they are fried.

    Supplies

    rolling pin
    apple shaped cookie cutter

    Instructions

    caramelizing apples in a skillet.

    Caramelize the apples.

    Wash, peel, and cut apples into small ¼ pieces and toss them with lemon juice.

    Set a skillet over medium heat add the butter and allow it to melt.

    Stir in the brown sugar and stir continuously until it begins to dissolve then toss in the apples and cinnamon.

    Cook, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender. This should take about 5 minutes.

    Remove the pan from the heat and let the apples cool completely.

    Add the Cool Whip and beat until just combined.

    mixing red sugar with cinnamon.

    Make cinnamon sugar.

    Pour red sugar into a bowl and stir in some cinnamon, to taste.

    You'll use about ¼ teaspoon - ½ teaspoon of sugar for each apple chip, so measure according to the number of chips you want to make.

    This amazing Cinnamon Pita Chip Apple Crisps with Toffee Apple Dip is an appetizer you won't be able to get enough of! Make it for any occasion you'd like, your friends will be absolutely impressed!

    Fry and sprinkle with red sugar.

    Heat the oil in a fryer or stock pot to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Fry your apple-shaped pita chips until golden brown, flipping them over midway through frying.

    Set the apple chips on a paper towel and immediately sprinkle some of the red cinnamon sugar over top.

    Allow chips to cool completely.

    Brush the sugar off the tip part of the apple, for a more realistic-looking stem.

    Store the chips in a metal tin to retain crispness for up to a week, otherwise serve the day these are made for best results.

        Cool Whip is whipped cream that comes in a tub and is frozen. When it's thawed it is soft and creamy, just like homemade whipped cream, only it is very stable and wont seep. You can just swap out homemade whipped cream. If you do that, just be sure to serve it within a day or so for the best results.
