Tips & Tricks
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. This will help you to get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- You can use a stand mixer or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together. If you don’t have either, you can just use a spatula or mixing spoon. It will just take a bit more work on your part.
- Use fresh, firm apples to keep the fruit from getting mushy.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apples to boost flavor and prevent browning.
