In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Fold in three-quarters of the crushed Heath Bars into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining crushed Heath Bars on top for garnish.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cut the apples into slices right before serving. Arrange them around the dip or on a separate platter.
Serve the dip chilled, with the apple slices for dipping.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth dip.
• Chill the dip for at least an hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
• Crush the Heath Bars into both small and larger pieces for texture variety.
• Serve the dip in a shallow dish to make dipping easier.
• Cut the apples right before serving to prevent them from browning, or use a little lemon juice to keep them fresh.
