Caramel apple dip

Fall is finally here, which means apple season. I get overly excited when I see those bags of cute little honey crisp apples at the market. This is a painfully simple and addictive recipe.

1/2 bag caramels unwrapped
1/4 c water
1 package full fat cream cheese softened
1/2 c brown sugar
1 t vanilla

Nuke the caramels and water in the microwave for two minutes.
Whisk the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth, fold in the melted caramel and vanilla. If you want to spice it up try adding a pinch of pie spice. Serve with apples and Graham crackers. This stores great in the fridge and can be served at any temp.  Whatever you do, do not attempt to make this with low fat cream cheese.
