Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 cup confectioners' sugar

PECAN PIE TOPPING:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1-1/4 cups chopped pecans

Graham crackers, vanilla wafers and apple slices, for serving

Instructions

1 Beat the cream cheese, sugar and whipped topping

2 In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese at medium speed until it's smooth, three to four minutes. Then, reduce the speed to medium-low and add the confectioners' sugar and whipped topping, mixing it until fluffy, which will take two to three minutes. Spread this blend into an even layer in a pie dish and refrigerate it.

3 Simmer the sauce

4 In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract and salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat and bring things to a simmer. Once the liquid is bubbly, stir in the pecans. Remove the pan from the heat and cool it for 10 minutes. Then, pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer. Cover and refrigerate the dish for at least one hour. Serve the dip with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, apple slices and more.
