Ingredients
Apple Pie Topping
- 3 Granny Smith apples peeled and cored
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 4 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Apple Pie Topping
- Dice the apples into small, similar-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, add the diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until the diced apples are evenly coated.
- Place the apple mixture and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the apples are tender.
- In a small bowl, add the cornstarch. Spoon out a few tablespoons of the liquid from the apple mixture and whisk it with the cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the apple mixture and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from the heat and let the apple mixture cool completely.
Cheese Cheese Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Add the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and stir in any remaining bits.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish. Spoon the cooled apple pie filling over the top.
- Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Pair with graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels for dipping.
Notes
For a sweeter flavor, use Honeycrisp apples instead of Granny Smith.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for another layer of warm spice.
