Hot Apple Pie Dip

Party time!  I’ve been baking cookies all week for the office party.  My kitchen is covered in powdered sugar and globs of dough.  However, my favorite new recipe is a dip I found right before Thanksgiving.  I’ve made it a few times already and could just sit in my hidey-hole and enjoy it all by myself.  I didn’t use the low-fat stuff (hey, there’s always those New Year’s resolutions) and I didn’t measure anything.  I might have gotten a little heavy-handed with the cheese and nuts (Maybe I should dust off the treadmill right away – lol).  Oh, I also used the pre-cut apples in the produce section and just chopped them up further.  I found this recipe at kraftfoods.com, which has tons of uncomplicated and tasty recipes.  Merry CHRISTmas!
