If you want a delicious fall snack to eat with apples or grahams, this pumpkin dip is amazing – with hints of salt and the yummy taste of caramel!

While we wait for the beautiful leaves to change color and the cool air to swoop in, there is no better time than now to break out all things pumpkin spice. Do you love pumpkin desserts as much as I do?? That’s a rhetorical question.
This yummy dip is an original I whipped up in an attempt to create pumpkin spice bars.
First it was the chocolate pumpkin bread, then it was the icebox cake. Shortly thereafter came the donut holes and then the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I decided it was time to try some bars, and add yet another pumpkin dessert to my repertoire.
The consistency didn’t come out right for the bars, then suddenly a light bulb went off: pumpkin dip!
You know, the kind you eat with apples or ginger snaps. Or crackers. Or drywall. Kidding about the last one, but it’s so good I’d consider it!

Infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of sea salt, this pumpkin dip recipe hits that fall craving right between the eyes. Here’s how this pumpkin recipe is made.
Easy Pumpkin Pie Dip
You’ll need these ingredients:
- 1 stick of butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 can sweet condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt

In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt the stick of butter.

Add in the brown sugar and whisk to combine.

You’ll get this beautiful chocolate-brown color. Stir in the sweet condensed milk.

Bring the caramel to a boil then reduce heat to simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Add in the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.

In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and the rest of the sea salt. Mix with a large spoon.

Pour in half of the caramel mixture and stir.



Spread the mixture on the bottom of an 8×11 inch glass pan. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on top.

You can serve it gooey and warm as is or place in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Slice some fresh apples or lay out crunchy graham crackers on a platter then scoop away on this pumpkin dip! I had a hard time not eating this by the spoonful by itself.

With lots of holiday parties up ahead, this would be a great dish to bring. Create it in one afternoon and enjoy it for the evening!

Does this harden in the fridge or is it still 'dip-able' after being refrigerated? Does it keep overnight?
