Helen's Fruit Dip

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (best to do at room temp)
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 8-ounce container purchased whipped cream, softened if frozen

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the applesauce, brown sugar and cinnamon, and beat until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to stir (this keeps the dip light and fluffy). Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled with sliced apples, pears or other favorite dippers.
