Happy Halloween! 🎃 Today’s recipe brings a festive and flavorful twist to your Halloween menu with a fluffy apple dip that’s quick and simple to prepare. I discovered this gem in an issue of Simple and Delicious and was immediately drawn to the idea of an apple dip that breaks away from the usual caramel option.
It’s incredibly creamy, with a single tablespoon of peanut butter delivering a surprisingly bold punch of flavor. The addition of pumpkin pie spice takes it up another notch, adding warmth and depth to every bite—I might even sprinkle in a little extra next time. This dip isn’t just great with apple slices; it pairs wonderfully with banana slices too, making it a versatile snack or side for any autumn gathering!
Hey, look what I’ll be wearing today. Thanks to my mother-in-law who made this cute Halloween apron.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut butter?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if you prefer. Each option will provide a slightly unique flavor profile.
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare it a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and stir before serving.
What types of fresh fruit can I serve with this dip?
While apple wedges are the classic choice, this dip also pairs beautifully with bananas, pears, strawberries, or even grapes.
Can I adjust the sweetness of the dip?
Yes, if you prefer a sweeter dip, add a bit of honey or maple syrup. For a less sweet option, reduce the marshmallow crème slightly.
How long does this dip last?
When stored properly in the refrigerator, the dip will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Does the pumpkin pie spice overpower the flavor?
Not at all! The pumpkin pie spice adds a warm, subtle hint of flavor, but you can always adjust the amount to suit your taste.
How do I prevent the apples from turning brown?
To prevent the apple slices from browning, soak the slices in the soda for 10 minutes and then drain. Alternatively, you can soak them in a mixture of water and lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per cup of water) for a few minutes. This will help keep the apples looking fresh.
