Notes
My mom's original recipe called for ½ cup brown sugar and ½ cup powdered sugar. After testing it as written, I found it sweeter than I preferred, so I reduced both to ¼ cup. If you like a sweeter dessert dip, feel free to add more to taste.
Granny Smith apples are especially good with this dip because their tart flavor balances the sweetness. Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples would also be delicious.
To help prevent apple slices from browning, lightly toss them with a small amount of lemon juice before serving.
