Green Grannies

When I walked into the grocery store this week, these Granny Smith apples were waving their tiny green arms at me like milk and honey from the Promised Land. They are almost as big as softballs! I knew I had to make them mine.
I couldn't just slice them and eat them, right?  I recalled a recipe a friend of mine had made many years ago.  Luckily, it's so simple I remembered it off the top of my head.  (I'm talented like that).  Three ingredients, baby, that's what I'm talkin' about...
 
I know, I know, the pumpkin and apple season is technically behind us, still, I don't think you'll mind checking out this recipe.  Kids and adults like dippy foods, right?
Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip
1 8-oz. block cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Mix cream cheese and brown sugar.  Add walnuts.  Serve.

It's really good on graham crackers, too!
Can you tell the quantity of dip is getting lower in the bowl???  It's a good thing I got some good photos, otherwise my chubbed-out self would have eaten even more!

I'll be linking with Michael at:

Stay tuned: I'm going to do posts on blog tips soon.

  4. Oooh, that does look tasty. I'll have to pass on the walnuts, 'fraid I'm allergic. Don't you think almonds or pecans would be tasty?
