Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring crisp apple slices paired with a creamy honey cinnamon cream cheese dip, perfect for any occasion and satisfying without guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut each apple into 8 even slices, removing the core. Place slices in a bowl and drizzle with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  2. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature. If needed, microwave on low power for 10 seconds to soften.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Taste the dip and adjust sweetness or spice by adding more honey or cinnamon if desired.
  5. Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Arrange apple slices around the dip. Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Microwave briefly if needed to soften. Toss apple slices immediately with lemon juice to prevent browning. Adjust honey and cinnamon to taste. For vegan version, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternative and honey with maple syrup.
