Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Pie Dip will be a hit at your next party!
Since making this easy Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Pie dip, I may never make a regular apple pie again. All the flavors of apple pie in an easy dip! I’m all about easy meals and desserts lately.
For the pie crust dippers, I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust. I spread the pie crusts out, brushed with milk, and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Then I cut the crust into strips and baked. My mom used to do this with her leftover dough when she made homemade pie when I was a kid. Those leftover pie strips were better than a pie to me back then.
The busy season has officially hit at the post office, loads of political mail, then packages and Christmas cards will be next. I am always surprised how busy work gets, though it hits every year at the same time. If I’m feeling nice, I’ll have to bring this dip in for my co-workers. They devour anything. And I am getting sick of every other day donuts that my coworkers bring in.

Can you use Ghiradelli caramel sea salt premium sauce for this recipe
Mine was runny too and I used gala apples. Luckily it is for tomorrow and I bought extra caramel. I will try to thicken it up tomorrow.
Followed the recipe exactly, and mine came out nothing like the picture. Mine was incredibly watery, not like a dip at all.
Is it supposed to be watery? I used honey crisp and golden delicious apples. It was very runny. I didn’t know if I should have added another jar of sauce to thicken it up.
