Last year I made this Caramel Apple Cream Cheese Spread, and y’all went crazy for it. (Okay, I know I don’t live in the South, but I really wanted to say “Y’all.” I hope you don’t mind. I blame Pizzazzerie and Southern FATTY.) Anyway, following up on the success of that delightful Caramel Apple Cream Cheese Spread, I thought you might like a couple more recipes that serve the same purpose.

Naturally, a pumpkin variation was high on my list. After playing around with a few similar recipes I found online and in magazines, this is what I came up with.

The notable difference between my recipe and many others is my generous use of seasonal spices. As I’ve mentioned numerous times here on IBC, when you’re baking with pumpkin, the key to bold pumpkin flavor is the spices. Don’t believe me? Remember when Starbucks used to make their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte, but there actually wasn’t any pumpkin in it? It’s all about the spices!! Take a look at any of my pumpkin recipes, and you’ll always see the same things: pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and possibly ground ginger.

Another thing that I love about this recipe is that it’s not in-your-face sweet. Because its base is whipped cream, it stays light and fluffy. However, it still has great tang thanks to the cream cheese. (I’ll be sharing a richer cheesecake dip next week.)

I recommend serving this dip with apple slices, pear slices, grapes, shortbread cookies, and graham crackers. All would be equally delicious. You could even get creative and turn this recipe into a trifle of sorts by layering it with pound cake, cubed apples, and a drizzle of caramel or butterscotch sauce.

Regardless of how you serve it, I think you’re going to love it!

You can probably whip this up in under 15 minutes. It may take a few extra minutes to slice the apples, but overall it’s a super quick recipe with great results.

  4. I’ve been a longtime lurker, but I had to come out in the open and tell you how much I enjoy your website! Your creativity and personal charm are one of the joys of my day. This recipe looks just perfect for this time of year — not too heavy, still summery and fresh, but hinting at Fall. I live in the desert (today’s forecast is 112 F), so Fall is still a dream for now. With this recipe, your recent decor ideas, and your brilliant apple-shaped cheese balls, I am so inspired! Thanks, Michael!
