My mom whipped up this 3 ingredient snack for us every autumn. It brings back the best childhood memories and is guaranteed to vanish in seconds.

This 3-ingredient caramel apple dip is one of those simple little treats that feels extra special every fall, especially when apples are crisp and sweet. It comes together in just minutes with a creamy, fluffy base and a rich caramel topping, finished with a sprinkle of peanuts for a little crunch. It is the kind of easy snack that works beautifully for after school, game day gatherings, or a casual family movie night.

Serve this dip with tart green apple slices for that classic caramel apple flavor, or set out a mix of red and green apples for a sweeter platter. It also pairs nicely with pretzels, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or even sliced pears if you want to round out a snack board for a party or holiday get-together.
