I remember the first “homemade” apple dip I ever had.

We made it in Home Ec class my sophomore year of high school.  It.was.so.good.  I couldn’t believe something that delicious could ever exist.  I just wanted to drink it from the bowl.  But there were other people in the class, so I couldn’t - APPARENTLY it was against social norms.  Plus, one of my classmates was totally double dipping, so I pretty much only got one taste of the dip before I was too repulsed to eat anymore.  To make matters worse, the double dipper had a cold.  UGH. I guess double dipping when you have a cold isn’t against social norms.  Double dippers are SO GROSS (and yes, Rob, I know it was “myth busted” that double dipping isn’t bad, but I don’t care…it’s still gross and I don’t want to swap saliva with anyone in my apple dip).

Every fall since then I have thought about that tasty apple dip.  It was THAT good.  Unfortunately, I lost the recipe (like I do with every recipe I fall in love with).  Here it is though….seven(ISH) years later! I am SO HAPPY to say that I have found a recipe that tastes EXACTLY like the dip from my Home Ec class.
