Notes
Notes
For lump-free dip, the cream cheese must be at full room temperature. Don't skip this.
To prevent apple slices from browning, soak in salt water (½ tsp salt per 2 cups water) for 5 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
Make up to 2 days ahead. Save a tablespoon of toffee to sprinkle on right before serving for maximum crunch.
