A creamy, comforting caramel apple cheesecake dip paired with crispy homemade ghost-shaped chips, perfect for Halloween and fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) caramel sauce
  • 1 medium apple (about 150 g), diced
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 large white corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter, melted
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Wash, core, and dice one medium apple into small, even pieces (about ¼-inch). Toss with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to macerate and soften slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer. Scrape down the sides as needed to avoid lumps.
  3. Gently fold in ½ cup (120 ml) caramel sauce, making sure it’s evenly combined but not overmixed (you want a marbled look if you prefer).
  4. Fold in the cinnamon-sugar coated apples carefully so they stay intact and don’t release too much juice into the dip.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and dip firm up for easier scooping.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut 6 white corn tortillas into ghost shapes using a cookie cutter or knife. Brush each chip lightly with 2 tablespoons melted butter on both sides.
  7. Arrange chips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Optional: Dust chips lightly with powdered sugar for a frosty, ghostly effect once cooled.
  9. Spoon dip into a bowl, place ghost chips around the edge, and serve.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for a smooth texture. Fold caramel and apples gently to keep dip light and airy. Watch chips closely while baking to avoid burning. Dip tastes better chilled overnight. Store chips separately to keep crispness. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut caramel sauce; substitute butter with coconut oil for chips.
