I got this from a friend of mine a few years ago, and every time I serve it, it is always a big hit and everyone always asks me for the recipe.

8	oz	Softened cream cheese
3/4	C	Brown sugar
2	tsp	Vanilla
1/2	tsp	Caramel flavoring

Mix all ingredients together, chill and serve with apple slices.

To keep apples from browning I sprinkle with a little "Fruit Fresh."

You can also use a 1/3 less the fat cream cheese, but don't use the "no fat" cream cheese. It does not work.
