Spiced Apple Praline Whip Dip (Printable Version)
Creamy whip with spiced apples and praline crunch, perfect for dipping fruit, cookies, or crackers
# What You'll Need:
→ Spiced Apple Layer
01 - 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - Pinch ground cloves
07 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
08 - Pinch salt
→ Praline
09 - 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
10 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 - Pinch salt
→ Whip
13 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
14 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
# Directions:
01 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Stir occasionally until apples are tender and syrup forms, about 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
02 - Wipe the skillet clean and melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add chopped pecans, brown sugar, and salt, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and coats the nuts, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer to parchment paper and allow to cool, then break into small clusters.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined.
04 - Spoon half of the cream cheese whip into a serving dish. Top with half of the spiced apples and half of the praline clusters. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
