What else can you use the dip for:

I love dips, because you can  use them for a variety of recipes. Here are a few of our favorites:

• Crepe Filling: If you have never had crepes, you need to try them. This dip would be an amazing crepe filling. Add a few sliced apples or bananas to your crepes, and they will taste amazing.
• Dip for Cookies and Crackers: We love dipping our cookies and crackers into this Caramel Apple Butter Dip. Our favorites include vanilla wafer cookies, graham crackers of all flavors, vanilla Oreo’s, animal crackers, ginger snap cookies, etc.
• Fruit Dip: Although this was made for apples, you could easily dip strawberries, bananas, or even strawberries. This dip is so versatile that it goes perfect with a lot of different things.
• Pie Filling: We love this with graham crackers, but it is even better in a graham cracker crust. It will need to refrigerate a little longer to set up, but it is amazing as pie.

How to keep your apples from browning:

• Slice apples in water and keep them in a little bit of water. I have never tried this method, but I’ve heard from multiple people it works. The oxidization process never starts, so the browning doesn’t happen.
• Brush or dip the apples in lemon/lime juice. I’m more of a brusher, because I don’t like tasting the lemon/lime juice.
• After slicing the apples, place them back together in their original apple shape. Wrap the apple in saran wrap and place a rubber band around it. This will keep the apple together and avoid air getting to the apple too quickly.Refrigerating the wrapped apple will also help with this.

Make Ahead & Storage Suggestions

• Make Ahead: You can make this recipe 24 hours ahead of time and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
• Fridge: For storing leftovers, make sure to keep the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its freshness and ensure that you can enjoy the delicious dip for a few days.
