Why You’ll Love It

So simple: This couldn’t be easier. Mix, chill, top, and serve! The dippers and golden pie apple topping make this recipe pop and look so pretty.

Silky smooth dip: Smooth and perfect for dipping your favorite cookies or fruit into.
Make ahead: Personally, I live for good make-ahead desserts like this no-bake apple cream cheese dip!
Flexible recipe: Since the base of the recipe has a neutral flavor, it goes well with any store-bought or homemade pie filling.

No Bake Apple Cheesecake Dip Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Cream cheese: Use softened, full-fat cream cheese at room temperature. Using a good quality cream cheese is key as its the base for the whole recipe.
Powdered sugar: Make sure to sieve the lumps out.
Vanilla extract: For a dreamy, delicious flavor that tastes amazing. Don’t skip it.
Cool Whip: There’s nothing as yummy as Cool Whip! I could eat it with a spoon!
Pie filling: This recipe calls for apple pie filling, but honestly, use any variation you like!

Substitutions and Variations

Cream cheese alternatives: For a tangier, protein-packed twist, swap out cream cheese for Greek yogurt. For a lighter, creamier texture, use ricotta cheese. You can also use low-fat cream cheese.
Sweeteners: Substitute sugar with maple syrup – so delicious. Dark brown sugar is also a great swap.
Spice mixes: Use pumpkin pie spice for an instant holiday feel. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, try a little cardamom or some nutmeg.
Crunchy toppings: Top with crunchy granola, crushed graham crackers, or toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts.
Add-in flavors: Drizzle caramel sauce over the dip to make a caramel apple cheesecake dip. Mini chocolate chips, raisins, or even dried cranberries are just as yummy!
Dipper ideas: Serve it with ginger snaps, pretzel sticks, fresh apple slices, or vanilla wafers!
Boozy: Add a little apple brandy or your favorite bourbon.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizer: Kick off with sheet pan tilapia nachos (so easy) or this recipe for cowboy caviar dip!
Main: Unstuffed cabbage rolls are so good. Another go-to is my smoked sausage and potato dish or this vegetarian lemon pasta that is so super simple.
Dessert: Serve a chilled plate of apple pie cheesecake dip as a sweet treat at the end of your meal.

How to Store Apple Cheesecake Dip

Store: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Leftover dippers like sliced apples are not easy to store as they oxidize and turn brown.
Freezer: I do not suggest freezing as the texture may be grainy after defrosting.

Top Tips

Serve it chilled: It’s just more delicious served cold.
Perfectly creamy base: Use room temp cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture. Beat the cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve a creamy consistency.
Sweetness control: Add powdered sugar gradually and taste as you go to make the dip to your taste and not overly sweet.
Presentation: Use a shallow, wide dish for easy dipping and an attractive presentation.

Apple Dessert Dip FAQs

How can I achieve a smooth and creamy texture?

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Beat it thoroughly to avoid lumps and create a smooth, creamy base.

Can I make this dip dairy-free?

Yes, substitute regular cream cheese with a dairy-free version or use coconut cream. Ensure any other ingredients, like toppings and dippers, are also dairy-free.

Is this dip gluten-free?

The dip itself can be made gluten-free, but you must choose a gluten-free pie filling to ensure the whole dish is gluten-free. The same goes for the crackers and dippers you choose.
