Heads up! This post was originally published way back in 2010!! I added some updated photos and left the original photos of my daughter Meghan when she was still a toddler 🙂 The rest of the text is the same as originally published. Enjoy this healthy snack recipe!
One of my favorite things to eat growing up, besides Spaghetti-O’s and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, was caramel apple dip. Oh, it was so sticky, sweet, and delicious.
I was tempted in the store the other day when I saw a container of it next to the rows of locally-grown apples. Those marketing people know what they’re doing. 
But, as a health-conscious mama, I took a gander at the label. I’ve grown accustomed to being disappointed when learning about the ingredients of childhood favorites. The number one ingredient was, of course, sugar. #2? Corn syrup.
I stopped reading and put the sticky deliciousness back on the shelf next to the apples. I took a second look and almost let my sentimental side get the better of me, but instead found some great-looking apples and made a mental note to create an apple dip at home without any refined sugar. 
It isn’t a caramel dip, but this apple dip is delicious. It brought me back to my childhood and as Meghan happily dipped her crisp apple I realized that her childhood recollection of apple dip would be much more healthful than mine. 
Her favorite apple dip is made with REAL food. What a lucky little girl. 🙂

Here is Meghan enjoying her snack of apples with dip. Yes, that is a bib from her 1st birthday. Yes, she just turned 2. Bibs seem to mysteriously disappear around here, so that’s the only one that was around.
On another note, if you saw this post on my quest to reduce plastics in my life, you will know how excited I was to find this yogurt on my grocery store shelves. Not only is it in a glass bottle, this yogurt is certified organic from grass-fed cows from a local farm! Serious score. Yes, of course it is more expensive than the regular yogurt I buy (either Stonyfield Organic or Trader Joe’s Organic), but the glass bottle makes it worth it to me. I hope enough people buy this that the store continues to carry it.
This is amazing! So easy and delicious. Will be a constant in our house. Nice and easy to take to work for a snack.
Happy to hear you enjoy this!
This is such a good idea! I have been looking for some health snack ideas for my kids after school. I don’t want them to have any cavities next time we go to the pediatric dentist here in Logan, UT. Thanks so much for sharing your brilliant ideas!

I came across your blog last night while looking for Quinoa recipes and I found that and so much more! I can’t wait to try every one of your creations! Today I started with this dip for breakfast for my four year old and she ate two apples! My husband loved it and suggested putting it on toast which I did and it was so yummy. Then I had your avocado sandwich for lunch with a couple of dates for dessert. I have been wanting to eat “cleaner” go mostly vegetarian for some time and your recipes are going to make it so much easier for me and my family to find delicious alternatives to meat and/or sugar loaded and processed snacks and meals.
Can’t wait to forward this to all my health conscious mommies. They are going to love it. Nice job!
Wow, putting the dip on toast sounds like a great idea! I’m going to try that. Thanks so much for passing my blog on to your friends; I really appreciate it!
You have some real insight into the things you write about. If I could write like you I would start my own blog.
You must live near me because I’m pretty sure I have seen that grass-fed yogurt on some local stores by me! I haven’t tried it as it seems so expensive, but I’m sure it’s good! Glad to meet you! (I found your site through passionatehomemaking’s blog) 🙂
We live in southwest Ohio and the farm is in Indiana so if you live around these parts it’s probably the same thing! It is a little pricey, but I think the grass-fed factor AND glass bottle make it worth it! 🙂
Yum! I can’t wait to try this! My girls are insane for dip of any kind and store bought healthy dips, are well, a myth I think! At least at my store. I’ve eyeballed that same caramel dip so many times but had the same reaction to the ingredients. I’ve tried to do just PB as a dip, but it’s so thick. This is perfect! I’m so glad I found your blog!
