One of my friends made something similar to this at a party, and I loved it. I asked for the recipe but lost it, and ended up trying to make it by memory. It may not be the original recipe, but its darn good! It has a sweeter taste than your average cheese ball. Excellent with Sesame Seed Crackers. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3/4 cup cheddar cheese |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 cup dried apple, chopped |
1/2-1 cup chopped nuts |
1/2 cinnamon stick |
1 bay leaf |
Directions:
1. In medium to large bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and cinnamon. Beat until well blended.
2. Stir in apples until evenly distributed.
3. Shape mixture into a ball by rolling it around inside the bowl.
4. Once ball is formed, pour crushed nuts into a second bowl, and roll cheese ball in the crushed nuts until the outside is covered.
5. Presenting the cheese ball on a plate, place cinnamon stick and bay leaf in the top of the ball to make it look like an apple.
