Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Pie Dip has diced apples in a caramel sauce. Pair with cinnamon sugar pie crust strips, sugar cookies, or graham crackers.
We love a good dip! This can either be a dessert or an appetizer. Serve this along with another one of my appetizers such as Pumpkin Dip, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Caramel Dip, or Garlic Butter Artichokes.
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.

Jodi says
What about using canned apples or apple pie filing instead of actual apples.
Sarah Olson says
That would be really good too! Would probably need less caramel since the apple pie filling is pretty moist and flavorful already.
applelover says
Looks delicious!!! Do you serve warm?
Sarah Olson says
I ate it both ways. Hot when I made it and cold later that day. Both were equally delicious.
Michelle Barrett says
Do you think you could use Marzetti caramel dip instead of the Smuckers?
Sarah Olson says
I think that would work ok. It may be thicker, but I would think it would melt down nicely.
Vicky H says
Any reason why this couldn’t be doubled?
Sarah Olson says
I don’t see why not!
Conne says
The pie crust dippers are delicious, but I use a small leaf cookie cutter instead of just cutting strips for a REALLY cute dipper! They are also great with pumpkin pie dip!
Sarah Olson says
Great idea Conne, I think I have one of those cutters somewhere! Also for everyone who is asking about graham crackers, I bet they would be good. I was even thinking the Keebler Sugar Cookies would be good too if you didn’t have time or want to bake the pie crusts.
Angie says
Graham Cracker sticks may be nice with these?
Tina says
I was wondering the same. I was trying to think of what else we can dip with
Angie W. says
I was thinking cinnamon sugar pita chips would be good too!
Sarah Olson says
Oh my goodness. I forgot about those, they are sooo good!
Lisa says
Has anyone tried pieces of cinnamon graham crackers for dipping?
Lisa says
I had that same thought- why not use cinnamon graham crackers ?
Alisa says
Pie crust cookies are da bomb, just add your fav jam or jelly to the leftover pie crust scraps, fold over and bake! Positively yummy!
Renee Dugan Timpe says
Do you ever leave the skin on?
Sarah Olson says
I think that it would probably be good! The apples are just slightly cooked in the recipes, so I think the peels would taste fine!
HawaiiLynn says
I do not use anything out of a jar due to what is in it. (High fructose corn syrup, etc)
Do you know of a caramel recipe that can be made from scratch that is equal to this? It sounds awesome!!

ellen says
Using a variety of kinds of apples always makes apple pie more interesting. I think that same method would work great with this.
Vickie Briggs says
Most people use brown sugar and butter to make caramel. You’d have to find the measurements for it. I know its yummy. Condensed sweet milk turns to caramel when boiled, not not sure it if contains corn syrup.
