'Apple of My Thigh'

I love to make desserts, but due to issues with my blood sugar, I can eat very little of the 'sweet stuff'. That's why I love to have the chance to cook for company, church dinners and any other opportunity that presents itself. With the holidays approaching, I'm looking forward to all the delicious and delightful upcoming occasions.

I have two functions coming up this weekend.

If you haven't seen this already, I thought I would share a recipe I recently came across - in case any of you are looking for something easy and delicious for a Reformation celebration treat. (I'm also planning to make an 'Upside-Down Apple-Pecan Pie', and I have a wonderful recipe for 'Microwave Carmel Corn' )

'Heavenly APPLE OF MY THIGH Dessert' - first on my list to prepare - is a cute and descriptive name for this tastefully-decadent fall fruit dip...

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
3(1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered English toffee - Heath, Score, etc. - chopped
5 apples - any variety - , cored and sliced

Directions:

1. Mix together the cream cheese, sugar and 1/4 cup of the caramel sauce in a medium bowl. Spread onto a serving tray or plate. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with pieces of chocolate covered toffee. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then serve with apple slices.

Prep time: 10 minutes Ready in: 40 minutes Yield: 8 servings
