If you love warm apple pie and creamy cheesecake, you are going to love this dip. It has a sweet cream cheese layer on the bottom and tender Granny Smith apples cooked in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on top, all served right from the slow cooker. This is the seventh recipe in my slow cooker dip series. Like the others, it starts with a cream cheese base, it is layered, and it is made for the slow cooker (Crock-Pot).
How long to cook apple cheesecake dip in the slow cooker
Cook apple cheesecake dip in a shallow 2.5-quart slow cooker on LOW for 1 hour, then turn it to the warm setting for serving. The apples are cooked on the stovetop first, so the slow cooker only needs to heat everything through.

What do you serve with apple cheesecake dip?
I serve this dip with gingersnaps and fresh apple slices.
Why cook the apples in a skillet first?
Simmering the apples in butter, dark brown sugar and cinnamon for 5 – 6 minutes makes a thick, bubbly caramel-like syrup, so the apples go on top of the cream cheese layer already cooked.
Why use Granny Smith apples?
Granny Smith apples are tart, which balances the sweet cheesecake layer and the brown sugar syrup.
Kitchen tools
- This is the exact Crock-Pot I used for testing. I love this 2.5 quart size for my dips! And bonus, it has a locking lid for traveling.
