This apple dip is magical. I tried it for the first time at a little booth where they were giving out samples to try to get you to buy a cookbook. A free bit of apple, you say? That couldn't possibly do any harm-- oh. Yum. That is delicio-- you say the recipe is in this cookbook? I'll take one.Little did I know that I could have just flipped through the cookbook, found this recipe, and memorize its - count 'em - four ingredients. Simple yet magical.
This is not the sort of apple dip you make every once in a while when you're having company over and you want to have a cute snack. Rather, this is the sort of apple dip you keep on hand at all times. It's like milk or salt. We're out of apple dip? Make some more. Or listen to me complain every time I want an apple and I have nothing delicious to dip it in.
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1+ cups brown sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Melt the butter in a sauce pan (or, if you're clever, you can make this a one-container recipe and make it in the microwave, right in the tupperware you plan to store it in). Add one cup of brown sugar - I prefer dark brown sugar, but light works too. Then, add more brown sugar until most of the excess butter is absorbed. Allow this mixture to cool. Add vanilla. Gradually stir in the sour cream with a fork so that it mixes thoroughly with no little sour cream chunks. Enjoy warm or cold. Delicious.
