I’m seriously into dips right now. Like MADLY into dips. I went to Apple Hill this past weekend and bought alltheapples. And now, naturally, I am making allthedips to dip them in. This one is the best so far.
So here’s the thing. Up until a few weeks ago the thought of pumpkin and apple together seriously grossed me out. Like, YUCK. And then I made this Skinny Pumpkin Dip and I was like OMG this is GOOD! So now I want everything to be pumpkin + apple.
But then there’s my long standing love affair with all things caramel apple. Caramel Apple Empanadas, Caramel Apple Shakes, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Monkey Bread, and the list goes on…and on…and…you get the idea.
So I combined them into this ridiculous dip which is going to rock.your.world. Pinky promise.
I am a firm believer in equitable distribution of assets, in this case – caramel. I poured some into the bottom of the bowl, layered it in between the pumpkin cheesecake and then drizzled it all over the top. Why? Cause you need a little bit of caramel with every bit of this dip, obvi. There’s delight in every bite!
And this is not just your ordinary caramel sauce – NO – this is pumpkin spice caramel because duh, pumpkin all the things, remember?
Let me just take a moment to talk about the caramel because it turned out to be my favorite part of this dip. I melted caramels and International Delight Pumpkin Spice creamer together to create this awesomeness. The fragrance alone was inspiring…on top of the pumpkin cheesecake…heavenly. I can’t swear that any more than three quarters of the caramel actually made it to the dip, I was so busy testing it to make sure it was just PERFECT, ya know, the crazy things I do for YOU 🙂
The good news here is this dip is worthy of the apples my boys worked so hard at picking. Graham crackers, nilla wafers, marshmallows, and any other fruit would also make great dippers here – use your imagination!
PIN IT NOW!
- 1 11 oz bag of caramels
- ⅓ cup Pumpkin Spice creamer
- 1 8 oz packages of cream cheese (I used light)
- ¾ cups pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 8 oz container Cool Whip (I used lite)
- Combine the caramels and creamer in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramels have full melted and the creamer is completely mixed in. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in the pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice and continue beating until thoroughly combined.
- Fold in one the Cool Whip.
- Pour enough caramel sauce into the bottom of your serving bowl to cover the bottom. Spoon half of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture on top and smooth the surface. Drizzle on some more caramel sauce leaving just enough for the top of the dip.
- Spoon on the remaining half of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture and top with remaining caramel.
- Serve immediately.

Christy says
Going to make night before do you think it will set ok?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I think that would be fine Christy!
Jenna says
This looks amazing! Definitely going to make it to bring to our family Thanksgiving! Just a question…which kind of apples do you think go best with this dip? Thanks so much!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh wonderful! I like Granny Smith best because this dip is so sweet. Enjoy!
Jenna says
Thank you so much!! Awesome! 🙂
Renee says
What would you do if the international delight pumpkin is not available in your area. I have never seen it in Canada.
Lisa says
I was wondering the same thing!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You could use an alternate brand or substitute in some half and half. Hope that helps!

Marla says
Question when you say pure pumpkin are you talking about the inside of a pumpkin?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m talking about the canned pumpkin Marla – hope that helps!
Nodine says
I love everything pumpkin!! I want to make this for our thanksgiving (Canadian) potluck at work tomorrow. If I make it tonight will the caramel harden and not be dippable tomorrow?
Becca says
I’m making this to bring for a brunch because it looks great. I won’t be able to serve immediately because I have to bring it with, any tips for having it still be fantastic after a car ride? Should I reheat or something when I get there? TIA.
Mir says
Equitable distribution is SO important with dessert. Like, why be stingy with the caramel when it can be in every dang bite? You’ve got the right approach, Trish!
And I’ve never tried pumpkin and apple together, but you’ve talked me into it. I’ll give ‘er a shot!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
See! We are totally on the same page Mir 🙂 And YES! Apple and pumpkin – who knew?
Cathy Trochelman says
Aggghhh! I can’t wait to go apple picking! Apples are so good on their own….but seriously so much better with a delicious dip! Loving this, Trish!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Apple picking is what I look forward to ALL year long Cathy. I would do it every weekend if I could! Thanks girl!
Michelle | A Latte Food says
What a brilliant idea! I seriously love this, and could probably eat it with just a spoon!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
A spoon is definitely the way to go here Michelle 😉 Why mess around with fruit?
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
Forget the dippers…I just want the bowl and a spoon and closet to hide in! Holy yum!!!!!!
Jaren (Diary of a Recipe Collector) says
I don’t often make sweet dips, but this needs to change! Looks so good!
Krystle says
Those are my 2 favorite fall flavors! Yum I want to face plant into this stuff!
Nutmeg Nanny says
I have a ton of apples that are screaming to be dipped into this….so. much. yum!
Joy @ Joy Love Food says
I love all things pumpkin, this dip sounds wonderful, perfect for fall parties!
Maria says
Yummy,Yummy, I need this in my tummy….like now!
Julia says
Oh this looks awesome!! I love the drizzle on the top.
Justine | Cooking and Beer says
I LOVE how you drenched this dip in caramel. This looks like something I need in my life asap!
Ala says
haha I love the transitive property: if apples = pumpkins and apples = caramel, I can only imagine how good pumpkin = caramel must taste!! Totally trying this flavor combo soon 🙂
Kristyn says
This looks AMAZING. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Haha. I’m kind of behind because I still think apple and pumpkin is weird. What’s dumb is that I haven’t tried it! I so need to get on that. Perhaps I should start with this! 🙂
Mirlandra @ Mirlandra's Kitchen says
Woman! Whenever I come to your blog there is always something amazing! I mean, WOW! This is another winner. Thanks!
Kaitie says
i LOVE pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, and this looks like no exception! Easy and delicious… it feels like fall flavours are springing up all over the place! sounds amazing!
heather @french press says
the more caramel the better I say 🙂 and I cannot wait for cooler temps; apple hill just isn’t the same when you’re sweating!
