Why You’ll Love Whipped Brie Apple Caramel
Sweet, salty, savory, all you need in an app! This whipped apple brie dip is so good that you could easily devour it in one sitting! It is also extremely easy to make! I think the apple slices are the BEST way to eat this but crackers and bread work too. Check out my tips on how to make sure your apples don’t brown!
How To Prepare Whipped Brie Apple Caramel
🥄 Add the apple cider to a saucepan with both sugars. Mix well. Cook on medium-high heat, mixing every few minutes until reduced by half. It should loosely coat the back of a spoon. This will take 12-14 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 more minute.
🧂 Turn heat off and mix in kosher salt and cream. If it turns out too hard thin it out with more cream or a touch of apple cider.
🧀 Whip the brie and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth.
🍽️ Spread the Whipped Brie on a plate and add the caramel, flaky salt, nuts.
🍎 I think the apple slices are the BEST way to eat this but crackers and bread work too. If you choose to eat it with apples make sure to soak the apples in cold water with salt (1 tsp per cup) for 10 minutes to prevent browning.

Common Questions
You can make the caramel ahead no problem. The whipped brie and cream cheese should only be made 1-3 hours ahead.
Sure! Caramel is sensitive to ratios, so make sure you follow the recipe closely. Make sure your pan is not too hot so it doesn’t burn. And just be patient. It does take awhile for the sugar to dissolve and the golden amber color to appear, so don’t rush it.
