{31 Days} Cooking from Scratch: DIY Dips

With football season upon us, homemade fruit, veggie and chip dips are a great treat for your fans.  Some of our favorite dips include:


Perfect Fall Fruit Dip

If you are looking for a real treat this fall – make your own caramel apple dip.  You won’t be sorry that you did.  In fact, I like this recipe so much, I’m sharing it today as part of the Improv Cooking Challenge for October which focuses on Caramels & Apples!

Caramel Apple Dip

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C butter
  • 1/8 C whipping cream (or evaporated milk)
  • 1/2 C brown sugar
  • Apples – we love Haralson for this dip

Directions

Combine the 1/4 C butter, 1/8 C whipping cream and 1/2 C brown sugar in a large saucepan. 

Slowly, begin to melt this goodness together over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Allow the mixture to come to a slow boil, and boil for 1-2 minutes. 

Remove from the burner, and allow the caramel sauce to cool down a bit; again – stir during this process. 

When cooled slightly, transfer to a serving dish, or a canning jar.  Serve with apples. 

We LOVE this dip.  We’ve enjoyed it in our caramel apple upside down cake, or in our most recent indulgence: vanilla ice cream, topped with crushed graham crackers, freshly sliced apples and drizzled caramel.  Yum-o. 

What’s your favorite dip?
