Apple Cinnamon Cheese Ball

---

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.
