Notes
- How to Keep Apples From Browning: Salt Method - Soak cut apples or pears in a solution of kosher salt and water for about 10 minutes, then rinse them in cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and present them in your serving bowl. This method may not work as well for banana slices.
- How to Keep Apples From Browning: Lemon Juice Method - Slice the apples and place them in a bowl of water, then squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Use a fresh lemon for best results. You'll need the juice of half a lemon for this.
- Storage: This dip is best consumed within 24 hours. After that, the toffee bits begin to lose their crunchy texture. The dip without the crunchy topping will last up to a week, so you can make it ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Simply sprinkle the toffee bits on top just before serving.
- Freeze: Store the dip without the crispy topping in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 2 months. This works best when you're using full-fat ingredients.
