Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Topped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 3–4 Large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith), sliced
- 1 tsp Lemon juice (to prevent apple browning)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a small oven-safe dish or a deep aluminum foil pan that fits inside your air fryer basket, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use a sturdy spoon or a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is well incorporated. If you are using nuts, fold them in now or sprinkle them on top for extra texture.
- Place the dish into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the dip for 6 to 8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, give the dip a quick stir to ensure the sugar melts evenly and the edges do not get too dark. The dip is ready when it is bubbly, warm throughout, and slightly golden on top.
- While the dip cooks, core and slice your apples into wedges. Toss them in a small bowl with a teaspoon of lemon juice to keep them bright and crisp. Once the air fryer timer goes off, carefully remove the hot dish using oven mitts. Place the warm dip in the center of a platter, surround it with the fresh apple slices, and serve immediately while the dip is gooey.
