For the Baked Apple Dip (serves 8)

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. apple pie spice
2 large apples, chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp. melted butter

For Serving (Ideas for dipping)

Graham Crackers
Nilla Wafers Cookies
Fresh Apple Slices
Pretzels / Soft pretzel bites
Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

Animal Crackers / Teddy Grahams
Crackers

Equipment You’ll Need

8×6 baking dish, 8″pie dish or similar
Mixing bowls (2)
Hand mixer or whisk
Measuring cups & spoons
Rubber spatula or spoon

⭐️ TIP: We used an 8×6 pyrex we had kicking around, but a 9×5 loaf pan would also work well (may need a couple extra minutes in the oven since it’s deeper), or a 8×8 square pan or 9″ pie pan (Bake a few minutes less as the dip will be thinner).

How to Make Baked Apple Cream Cheese Dip

1. Preheat oven and prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray your baking dish with non-stick spray or oil.

2. Make the base

A glass mixing bowl filled with whipped cream cheese mixture, lightly swirled and spiced for apple cream cheese dip. Surrounding it are small bowls of melted butter, white sugar, flour, and brown sugar, laid out on a white surface.

In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 2 tbsp. brown sugar, and apple pie spice until smooth. Stir in most of the chopped apples, saving some for topping. Spread the mixture evenly in your baking dish.

3. Mix & add the streusel topping

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and melted butter until crumbly.

Sprinkle the remaining chopped apples over the dip. Add just over half of the streusel on top (save the rest for muffins or yogurt bowls!).

4. Bake and serve

Bake for 12–15 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Storage Tips: Put leftover dip into an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat in the microwave in 15-second bursts until warm and creamy again. You can also prepare the dip a few hours in advance, and keep it covered in the fridge until baking right before you want to serve it.

Tips & Variations

Swap the spice: No apple pie spice? Use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger instead.

Use a crisp apple: Our favorite apples to use are Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, or a combination.

Make it mini: Bake individual portions in ramekins for a cute party snack or dessert board addition

Sweet meets salty: Serve with pretzels for that sweet-and-salty combo everyone loves.

Add a drizzle of caramel: A little caramel sauce on top before baking never hurt anyone.

Gluten-free option: Sub the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend to make the streusel GF-friendly.

Warm, spiced, and topped with a buttery crunch, it’s the kind of dish that brings people back for seconds (and thirds).
