4-ingredient Pumpkin Caramel Apple Dip combines the creamy caramel dip you love with the sweet taste of pumpkin pie. Perfect for fall apple dipping!

There’s one thing I look forward to every fall… and that’s homemade caramel apple dip. Yes, I could make it anytime. And sometimes I do! But there’s something about enjoying it in fall… with fresh fall apples… that just hits different.

And as much as I love it as is… without any fun additions… I thought I’d mix things up this year by adding a fun twist. PUMPKIN!!! You may not know it, but pumpkin and caramel make a delicious combination….and the perfect complement to sliced apples!

With just 4 ingredients, you can easily whip up this dip for an after school snack, a game day appetizer, or a fall party treat!

what you’ll need for this recipe

Cream cheese – Cream cheese forms the base of this delicious, creamy caramel dip. I used 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened to room temperature.

Brown sugar – I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar in this dip, which combines with the cream cheese to create a delicious caramel flavor.

Powdered sugar – In addition to brown sugar I also used 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

Pumpkin pie mix – Finally, for the pumpkin flavor I used 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin pie mix. Be sure to use pumpkin pie mix, NOT pumpkin puree, since the mix has all the pumpkin pie spices already in it.
