Faux Caramel Dip

Fall is for apples and this dip is for apples. Of course, you can eat this dip on anything -- it's especially yummy with graham cracker sticks -- but it's the absolute perfect complement to crisp and crunchy fall apples. Or apples any time of the year. Beware, though: It's also pretty darn good by itself, and that can be dangerous ... for your hips.

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

1 cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

In small mixing bowl, combine all until smooth. Serve with sliced apples.

Makes about 2 cups.
